The Russian occupying forces, in addition to possessing a range of serial models of various artillery systems and individual prototypes for testing, occasionally attempt to experiment by creating various "Frankensteins" - one such hostile attempt has caught the attention of the social and domestic magazine "Vodogray".
This involves the combination of the BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchyna" chassis and an artillery component that was likely taken from the 152-mm Soviet towed gun 2A36 "Hyacinth-B". It is specifically noted that the vehicle has additional protection against drones. Additionally, it is mentioned that for firing, the Russians use the 152-mm ammunition ZOF95 type "Krasnopol-M" with an updated guidance head.
Moreover, it is worth noting that the BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchyna" chassis is used by Russia in one of its "latest" developments - specifically the 152-mm self-propelled artillery system 2S43 "Malva", which is equipped with a 2A64 gun that has a barrel length of 47 calibers, similar to the self-propelled gun 2S19 "Msta-S" or the towed 2A65 "Msta-B".
To briefly recall the history of the self-propelled gun "Malva", it first became known in 2019, and testing continued until spring 2023, although it was supposed to be completed in 2022.
In the fall of 2023, the Russian state corporation "Rostec" announced the transfer of the first batch of the self-propelled gun "Malva" to the Russian occupation army, and in 2024, it was reported that at least two more batches of these self-propelled artillery systems were to be delivered.
This raises the question of why the Russians decided to create yet another "Frankenstein" when they supposedly have established supply chains for a serial model, albeit with a different gun.
Therefore, it is quite likely that the answer lies in the desire to add mobility to the towed "Hyacinth-B", provided there are available chassis. It is also possible that this is merely a unique hostile "experiment".
