The 120-mm 2S9 Nona-S (Anemone) self-propelled howitzer/mortar was first seen in public in May 1985 and it is an airborne artillery assault vehicle that has been developed to carry out two tactical functions:
- conventional artillery equipment to replace existing mortars and howitzers
- and as a direct fire anti-tank weapon system firing HEAT projectiles.
