zuzana-2

The Zuzana 2 is a Slovak 155mm 8x8 self-propelled howitzer, an upgraded version of the original Zuzana. It features a new gun, a fully automatic loading system, and improved armor protection.

Developed by KONŠTRUKTA-Defence to align Slovak artillery capabilities with modern NATO standards, the Zuzana 2 evolved from the legacy ShKH vz. 77 DANA and the original Zuzana design. The system officially entered service with the Slovak Armed Forces in 2021 following a procurement contract signed in 2018. It saw its first major combat deployment during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, where units were supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through international procurement initiatives starting in 2022. Today, the Zuzana 2 remains in active production and service, recognized as a highly mobile and effective long-range precision artillery asset.
