The '''Storskotalisskrisur-152''' (also known as the '''STSK152''' or the '''Storsk''') is a 152mm {{wp|Self-propelled artillery|self-propelled howitzer}} developed by the [[Vushok Group]] subsidiary, the [[Vushok Armor Workshop]] in 2008. The STSK152 has automatic support for up to six rounds of multiple round simultaneous impact.
