The 2S1 was seen in public for the first time in 1974, and was known under the provisional designation M1974. The self-propelled howitzer 2S1 provides the Soviet Army with highly mobile firepower and it has been supplied to some non-Soviet Warsaw Pact armies including Iraq.
The 2A31 122mm gun has a maximum range of 15,300 meters and is in a direct fire role against armoured vehicles or to breach minefields and other obstacles. The vehicle weighs less than 16 metric tons, with a ground pressure of approximately 0.5 kg/cm2. It can operate in swamps and deep snow and is amphibious. In water, it is propelled by its tracks.
The tightly sealed hull with its filtration system enables the 2S1 to operate in irradiated or contaminated zones as well as under heavy dust conditions. The turret is mounted with a ball-bearing race and has an electric drive for rapid traverse, although precise aiming is performed with a manual drive. A ramming mechanism speeds up the loading process, and fired cases are ejected automatically.
