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 an unarmoureda towed gun.<ref>{{citationcite book |title=Soviet/Russian Armor and Artillery Design Practices: 1945-1995 needed|date=November1995 2022|publisher=[[Marine Corps Intelligence Activity]] |location=Quantico, VA |url=https://ntrl.ntis.gov/NTRL/dashboard/searchResults/titleDetail/PB96134846.xhtml |access-date=16 March 2024 |pages=V-16–V-17}}}</ref>
 
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]].{{cncitation needed|date=November 2022}}
 
Russia recently offered its Msta-S 152&nbsp;mm howitzer to foreign countries, particularly in the Middle East. A demonstration was organised in 2020 by [[Rosoboronexport]], the country's nodal agency for arms export, for representatives from various Middle Eastern countries.<ref>{{cite web|last=Krishna|first=Om|date=25 March 2020|title=Msta-S 155mm Howitzer: Russia offers new self propelled artillery gun|url=https://www.defencestar.in/military/army/msta-s-155mm-howitzer-rosoboronexport-offers-new-gun-foreign-customers/3355/|website=Defence Star|access-date=1 July 2023|archive-date=1 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701210746/https://www.defencestar.in/military/army/msta-s-155mm-howitzer-rosoboronexport-offers-new-gun-foreign-customers/3355/|url-status=live}}</ref>
