Rosoboronexport reports that last year Russia sold to Azerbaijan 9
pieces of 2S7, 203, 2 mm Peony self-propelled artillery system which
according to the agreement were brought to Azerbaijan within 2009
March-December. Earlier, in 2008, Russia had already sold three pieces
of the same systems to Azerbaijan.
The aforementioned system is considered the strongest in the world.
The system can reach the target at a distance of 50 km. The system
moves at a speed of 50 km/h.
Political scientist Mubariz Ahmedoglu told Novosti-Azerbaijan that
Peony, unlike S 300 is an attacking weapon and its acquirement means
that Azerbaijan is getting ready for a war.
There are two types of Peonies – initial and modified. It is not known
which type Azerbaijan bought.
