After the publication of the photos in social networks "muster-info" Presented at the site "Donguz" ballistic installation 152mm tank gun 2A83 on the chassis of the T-72, developed in the forums discussion about the need to create such systems:



Many believe that guns are experiencing exclusively with machines howitzer B-4, something like these:

and that then put them on a self-propelled platform has absolutely no reason. Nevertheless, the need for specialists such experiments is obvious. This can be clearly illustrated by the history of the creation of the now well-known 125mm 2S25 "Octopus-diabetes."
So, one of the main problems facing developers tools was to ensure the stability of the combat vehicle with the shooting and the permissible level of overload acting on the crew members in the process. In order to test the possibility of creating TEPS on a light carrier TSNIITOCHMASH developed experimental self-propelled 100 mm caliber gun with ballistics MT-12 chassis BTR-70 and BMP-2 and spent their test firing.
Analysis of the results showed the possibility of installation on the chassis light weight category more powerful artillery. For further research was made an experimental model with a 122-mm gun D-30 on the chassis of the BTR-60. Howitzer D-30, with variable charges allowed, gradually increasing the amount of the powder charge, bring a load at a shot to a value corresponding to the recoil momentum acting on the vehicle when fired 125-mm tank gun D-81.Layout withstood the test, and the next milestone was the installation within the research "breaker" 125-mm gun on the chassis of the BMP-2. The sample was made and tested fire.

C taking into account the positive results of tests carried out, the protocol of the Presidential Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (MIC) on June 29, 1983 № 126/8 TSNIITOCHMASH was mandated to conduct preliminary studies to determine the feasibility of creating a 125-mm TEPS for airborne troops on standardized chassis components perspective BMD "Bakhcha."
