General

Based on a modified BTR-80 chassis the 2S23 is a fully amphibious 120mm self-propelled gun-mortar developed by the former Soviet Union which entered service in 1990. The 2S23 is generally referred to by the appellation NONA-SVK (Новейшее Орудие Наземной Артилерии [Newest Ordnance of Ground Artillery]) with the “SVK” suffix indicating its wheeled self-propelled role. The primary weapon consists of a 2A60 120 mm breach-loading mortar mounted in a slightly different turret than that found on the 2S9. The mortar is capable of firing HE, HE/RAP, HEAT (direct fire), Smoke, and various precision rounds such as the Kitolov-2. Secondary armament is a roof mounted remotely controlled 7.62mm PKT machine gun.

The 2S23 is in current service with Russia and Venezuela.

Introduced with Steel Beasts Pro PE version 4.357 the 2S23 is fully functional as a high-angle indirect-fire artillery piece capable of firing HE and smoke missions.
