The 2S9 Nona-S is an Russian vehicle that can be propelled through the water by two rear water-jets. It is operated by a four-man crew comprising a commander, a driver/mechanic, a gunner, and a loader. The hull interior is separated into a command compartment, a fighting compartment and an engine compartment. A welded steel turret is located at the middle of the hull. The two-man turret has hatches for the gunner and loader respectively.

The 2S9 utilizes a 120 mm 2A51 (later 2A60) mortar with a 1.8-meter-long barrel. It is breech-loaded and capable of firing HE (high explosive), Artillery ammunition, smoke rounds, as well as laser-guided munitions like KM-8 Gran.

This Amphibious Mortar-Howitzer system is suitable for riverine Bangladeshi terrain. It can fire 120mm mortar and Artillery ammunition from the same gun. For it's light weight it can also use in mountainous region and air Dropable. Many countries are using this system . Bangladesh army can evaluate this varsatile system for their future mobile mortar system.
