The2A3 “Kondensator 2P” was aSoviet406mmself-propelled Howitzer. The 2A3 originated during theCold Waras a response to the United States new "Pentomic Division" tactical doctrine that emphasized heavy use of nuclear weapons includingnuclear artillery. The USM65 cannonwas introduced in 1952 and deployed in Germany in 1953. The Soviet Union started its own program to develop a 406mm self-propelled howitzer capable of firing nuclear projectiles, codenamed Objekt 271.
Grabin Design Bureaucompleted the artillery system in 1955. The Objekt 271 chassis from the Kotlin Design Bureau inLeningrad was completed soon there after. The unified system received the military industrial designation 2A3 and was completed in 1956 at theKirov Worksin Leningrad. Total production only amounted to four vehicles.
Western observers got their first look at the new weapon during a 1957 parade onRed Square. Initially observers thought that the weapon was amockupcreated for deterrent effect.
