The 2S7 Pion 203 mm self-propelled gun entered service with the Soviet Army in late 1970s. Currently it is in service with Russia, Belarus, Georgia and Ukraine. It is the most powerful conventional artillery system in the world. It was designed to engage remote and important enemy targets, such as command posts. The 2S7 Pion is armed with a powerful 203 mm gun, fitted with a load assisting system. It fires ordinary and rocket-assisted HE-FRAG projectiles, chemical and nuclear projectiles. A standard HE-FRAG projectile weights 110 kg and contains 17.8 kg of explosives. It has a maximum range of 37.5 km. The rocket-assisted projectile weights 103 kg and contains 13.8 kg of explosives. It has a maximum range of 47.5 kg. Ammunition load of the 2S7 Pion consists of only 8 rounds. Only 4 rounds are carried by this artillery system, remaining 4 rounds are carried by escorting vehicle. Maximum rate of fire is 1.5 rounds per minute. Brief out-of-action time allows Pion to fire 1 or 2 rounds and leave firing position before the first round hits target located up to 47 km away. This shoot-and-scoot capability allows to avoid counter-battery fire. This rendition is as close as I can get to the real deal without losing my mind. This kitbash includes some pieces from The Stowage Project and a good bit of work by myself to get it printable. Hope you enjoy this monster piece.
