Malva.

This is coolbert:

Self-propelled wheeled, not tracked! Sorta like "shaken not stirred"?

"The Russian army is preparing to adopt the first wheeled howitzer 'Malva'"

From  https://avia-pro.net  |   +2023-07-28.

"In Russia, preparations are being completed for the commissioning of the country's first wheeled howitzer 'Malva'. This weapon will soon be transferred to the troops for use on the battlefield."

"The main difference of the 'Malva' howitzer is its high rate of fire, which reaches seven rounds per minute. This characteristic allows us to consider the new artillery mount one of the most effective in its class."

Malva self-propelled wheeled and not tracked. First Russian artillery piece of this type.

"'Malva' was created to perform various tasks on the battlefield. Its purpose is to defeat command posts, defensive structures, artillery, rocket and mortar batteries, air defense systems, columns of armored vehicles and enemy manpower. 

"The new wheeled howitzer 'Malva' is remarkable not only for its characteristics, but also for the fact that it became the first howitzer of this type in Russia."

See however the Russian self-propelled [wheeled] artillery gun Bereg-E. Bereg more correctly referred to as a gun and not a howitzer.

See other self-propelled wheeled tube artillery all the rage:
