The Artillery system is based on the T-90 tank platform.

The Koalitsiya-SV is armed with a 152mm gun with a rate of fire of over 10 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 or autoloader. The howitzer’s weapon suite also includes a remotely-controlled station with a Kord machine-gun.

Russian modern artillery system has been in some level of service since 2016.
