Description:
2S5 Giatsint-S, also known as the M-1981, is a 152mm self-propelled howitzer featuring lack of turret and a tracked chassis.

Its 2A37 cannon, which fires 46 kg rounds, has a maximum range of 28,000 meters which can reach up to 40,000 meters firing Rocket Assisted Projectiles (RAP).
2S5's 2A37 cannon is a variant of 152mm 2A36 cannon. Like 2A36, 2S5 can fire a wide range of projectiles for a variety of purposes including semi-active laser-guided Krasnopol and Krasnopol-M projectiles.
