The
2S31 Russian Vena automated self-propelled gun is unmatched in the
world, claims Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport. An
armored floating vehicle with a BMP-3 tracked chassis can engage the enemy
with a squall of high-precision mortar fire.
The Vena fires both Russian and NATO standard shells and is fitted with an onboard computer making it possible to carry out super-precision fire in any weather and at time of the day or night over long distances.
The unit is intended to support infantry and armor. It engages the opponent’s armored vehicles, artillery positions and infantry. The mount is armed with a 120mm gun unit. The ammunition load includes standard-type shells, mortar bombs and even Kitolov-2 guided ammunition, directed by a laser beam.
Its distinctive features are high maneuverability and strong armor which protects the crew against small arms fire and shell and mortar fragments. The Vena can negotiate steep slopes, ditches up to 2.5 m wide and water streams at a speed of up to 10 km/hr.
The 2S31 is a 120 mm 2A60 Nona mortar/cannon. It was developed by Joint Stock Venture "Plants of Motovilikha" (Russian: ОАО "Мотовилихинские заводы"). The weapon system is equipped with digital automated fire control system, navigation system, and optical/electronic reconnaissance and target acquisition system.
Mortar mines (up to 7.2 km range) and cannon shells (up to 13 km range) can be used, including guided, HEAT, smoke, and thermobaric munitions. It weighs 19.5 tons.
The 2S31 Vena (Vein) self-propelled mortar system was developed in 1997. This vehicle is designed to support mechanized infantry formations. The 2S31 Vena has been offered for the export customers, however it has received no orders to date.

Since it can fire Russian and captured mortar and cannon shells, it should be a versatile system on the modern battlefield.
