==Development==
The Msta-S (also known by the [[GRAU]] index ''2S19'') bears the Msta ({{lang-ru|Мста}}, after the river [[Msta]]) howitzer, which was designed for deployment either on a self-propelled vehicle or as a towed gun. The 2S19 Msta-S is the armoured self-propelled howitzer, while the [[152 mm howitzer 2A65 Msta-B|2A65 Msta-B]] is
Development of the 2S19 started in 1980 under the project name ''Ferma''. The prototype was known as '''Obiekt 316'''. The 2S19's standard equipment consists of a semi-automatic laying system 1P22, an automatic loader, an [[CBRN defense|NBC protection]] system, passive [[night-vision device]] for the driver, a [[vehicle snorkel]], a dozer blade, a smoke generator and 81 mm smoke launchers, 1V116 intercom system and a 16 kW generator AP-18D. In 2008, the [[Russian Armed Forces]] ordered an improved model with an automated [[fire-control system]].{{

* '''2S19M1''' (unveiled in 2000, first deliveries in 2007) – Improved fire-control system and added [[GLONASS]] antenna. Modernised [[Kharkiv model V-2|V-84AMS]] engine.<ref name="Red Samovar" />
* '''2S19M2''' or '''2S33 Msta-SM2''' (2013) – Improved version currently in production equipped with a new automatic fire-control system which increases the rate of fire to 10 rounds per minute. Digital electronic maps are now available which significantly speeds up the terrain orientation in difficult geographical conditions and allows performing faster and more efficiently firing missions.
* '''2S19M1-155''' (2006) – [[155 mm]] export version of the 2S19M1, fitted with an L/52 gun with a range of more than {{cvt|40|km}}.
