The 2S19 Msta (Russian: Мста, named after the Msta River) is a conventional self-propelled 152 mm howitzer designed by the Soviet Union during the later part of the Cold War. It is based on the T-80U tank hull, but powered by the T-72's diesel engine. There is also a NATO 155mm-compatible version intended for export by the Russian Federation.
