The 2S43 "Malva" 152-mm self-propelled howitzer is a new wheeled 152mm design that seems to be a compromise between Msta-S and Koalitsiya, using the BAZ-6010-027 chassis. It isn't much known about 'Malva', but it wouldn't make any sense not to include the range improvements from Koalitsiya. Likely they chose production parts (Msta-S) and excluded the improved autoloader and barrel-coolant system - a compromise on weight, expense, and capability. This new Russian artillery system is based on the BAZ-6010 8×8 chassis.
For the first time, the Burevestnik Central Research Institute, part of Uralvagonzavod defense manufacturer within the state hi-tech corporation Rostec, released photos of the newest Russian 152mm Malva wheeled self-propelled howitzer. The previously secret development was shown publicly for the first time in October 2019, but the 3D model differs markedly from the real prototype.
In general, in terms of its functions and tasks, the new self-propelled gun does not differ from the models already in service with the missile forces and artillery. The 2S43 ‘Malva’ is designated to destroy a potential enemy’s command posts, communications centers, artillery and mortar batteries, armor, including tanks, anti-tank weapons, air and ballistic missile defense systems and manpower. The Malva is armed with a 152mm gun with a rate of fire of over 8 rounds per minute, which is higher than the speed of other artillery systems. This rate of fire is ensured by the special design of the gun-loading mechanism. The howitzer’s weapon suite also includes a remotely-controlled station. The new artillery system is lighter, more mobile and easier to be transported by aircraft, which expands the range of its missions and the promptness of their fulfillment.
The major differences lie in the architecture of this SAO. The combat vehicle is built on the basis of the four-axle all-wheel-drive chassis BAZ-6010-027 and is equipped with an open artillery unit. This combination of units provides a special ratio of combat weight, mobility, mobility, firepower, and cost of operation.
