    Russia's Malva Wheeled Howitzer: Rapid, Mobile, and Drone-Integrated

    The 152mm Malva wheeled self-propelled howitzer, designed by Russia, offers rapid strikes, high mobility, and drone-integrated targeting. Capable of deploying, firing, and relocating within minutes, it reduces vulnerability to counter-battery fire. With a range of over 24 km and carrying up to 30 rounds, the Malva can destroy various targets, including command posts, fortified positions, and armored columns. Mounted on a BAZ-6910 wheeled chassis, it's lighter and more agile than tracked alternatives, facilitating swift repositioning and air transportability.
