The 2S9 Nona (Anemone) is a self-propelled 120 mm mortar designed by the Soviet Union and entering service in 1981. The 120mm mortar is referred to as the Nona, with the 2S9 being the Nona-S, the BTR-80 based the Nona-SVK, the towed 2B16 anti-tank gun the Nona-K. The chassis is known as the S-120 and is based on the aluminum hull of the BTR-D airborne armored personnel carrier.
