The 2S3 152mm Self-propelled Howitzer Akatsiya or Acacia is a Soviet-era weapons system. First entering service in 1971, the 2S3 became a standard artillery piece in Soviet artillery regiments of tank and motor rifle divisions. The type has been exported to many Soviet Russian client states and has seen heavy use by both sides during the current war in Ukraine. This particular vehicle was captured by the U.S. Army from Iraqi forces during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
