Russia to test 122mm MTS-15 unmanned ground self-propelled howitzer
At the Army-2024 military forum, the Russian Federation showcased its latest innovation: the 122mm unmanned ground self-propelled howitzer, known as the MTS-15 Detelina [Clover]. According to a source from the Russian news agency TASS, the MTS-15 is slated for deployment to the Northern Military District for combat testing soon. Should these reports be verified, it marks the potential introduction of the first unmanned artillery system in Ukraine.
Specifically designed to neutralize and overpower enemy forces, the MTS-15 is essentially a D-30 howitzer integrated into a remotely operated robotic platform. Only one operator is required to command the system, and they can do so from as far as half a kilometer away.
“The prototype has already been tested under controlled conditions. It will soon be dispatched to the Northern Military District for further testing,” TASS quoted the source.
