Historical background and application

The 2S14 Zhalo-S self-propelled gun was developed in the early 1980s, during the Cold War, by the USSR as a nimble, lightweight fire support vehicle for mechanized troops. Despite good prototype performance and a unique turret with an 85 mm rifled gun, the vehicle never entered serial production due to the rapid progress in NATO tank armor protection and emerging anti-tank technologies. The prototypes were used for testing and demonstrations, including during military exercises, but the project never advanced beyond the experimental phase.
