According to military historian Alexei Hlopotova, currently only the Russian army artillery is in a unique system that combines the capabilities of guns, howitzers and mortars.

- Armed with Airborne and Ground Forces are self-propelled guns "Nona" and "Host" and "Phlox" while using their ideology, but surpasses its predecessors in range and accuracy of fire, as well as the power of their ammunition, - he told "Izvestiya" Alex hassle. - Guns, mortars firing not only conventional artillery shells, and mortar shells. Also they are able to lift the barrel in a vertical plane in the range from -2 to +80 degrees. With these solutions, mortar gun can not only hit targets at a distance of 10 km on the hinged trajectory like a howitzer, but also hit targets point-blank range as conventional guns, and even cast mines as mortars, almost vertically into the trenches of the enemy.

That makes it an (automatic) breach loaded mortar. It is based on 2A80 rifled 120mm ordnance used in 2S31 Vena and is a development of the 2A51 Combined Artillery Gun used with 2S9 Nona and 2S23 Nona SVK . The new 2S34 "Chosta" or "Hosta" is equipped with the 120mm 2A80-1 mortar gun. This is a remade 2S1 "Gvozdika" (122mm SPGH). While the chassis stays the same as the 2S1, the main evolution is the replacement of 122mm 2A31 series main gun by an upgrade of 120mm 2A80 mortar gun, the 2A80-1.
