The Russian military expanded the deployment of a new wheeled self-propelled howitzer dubbed the 2S44 Giatsint-K in the special military operation in Ukraine.
A video posted to social networks on September 4 showed two howitzers of this type firing at Kiev forces near the settlement of Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk direction.
The 2S44 Giatsint-K is basically a version of the 2S43 Malva. Instead of the Malva’s original 152 mm 2A64 cannon, the Giatsint-K is armed with the more powerful 152 mm 2A36 cannon. It has an effective range exceeding 27 kilometers with regular artillery rounds.
In addition, the 2A36 can fire Krasnopol laser-guided artillery rounds, which have a range between 20 and over 40 kilometers depending on the version.
Just like the Malva, the Giatsint-K is based on the BAZ-6010-027 8×8 special wheeled chassis. The vehicle has a 30 rounds ammunition storage and can cover a distance of 1,000 kilometers on public roads without refueling thanks to its all-wheel drive and a powerful diesel engine.
Both the Malva and the Giatsint-K are more maneuverable than self-propelled tracked howitzers, feature greater technical potential and are less costly in operation.
Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec delivered the first batch of Malva howitzers to the Russian military in October of 2023. In July of 2024, the delivers of the more powerful Giatsint-K begin, although the howitzer was spotted for the first time only last February.
It is unclear how many of the two wheeled howitzers have so far been delivered to the Russian military, but it is clear that they are both in mass production.
