Text in original Preserved Tanks In Russia publication:

During the early 1970s the Soviet Army introduced two self-propelled howitzers, the 122mm 2S1 and the 152mm 2S3 Acacia. The 2S3 was based on an adaptation of the chassis developed for the 2P24 Krug (SA-4 Ganef) mobile SAM system, but with six rather than seven roadwheels each side. It mounted its howitzer in a turret with all round traverse.
