Historical Information about the 2S7 "Pion"

The self-propelled howitzer 2S7 "Pion" (Rus. 2С7 «Пион») was designed in the Soviet Union and was first introduced to the world in 1975. In Western NATO nomenclature it was designated as the M1975, while in Russia it is known as the SO-203. The 203 mm 2A44 gun was mounted on a chassis based on the T-80 tank. It is capable of both conventional fire and launching nuclear ammunition. It served in the Soviet army from 1983, and its impressive range – up to 37.5 km (and even 55.5 km with RAP rocket-assisted projectiles) – made it one of the most powerful artillery systems of the Cold War and modern era.

This weapon was used both in the USSR and by most of its Warsaw Pact allies, as well as in local conflicts in Europe and Asia.
