I couldn't find much about this in the Google search index. The article just solely rely upon a single source and that too is in Russian language. Abishe (talk) 12:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'm not seeing any valid reason for deletion. It's to be expected I think that references to a Soviet weapon are in Russian, and there is no prohibition against using Russian sources for articles, or indeed for an article to be wholly based on non-English language sources. It crops up in other Russian language sources, the Russian wikipedia's article on it is at ru:2С15, and a search in Russian will reveal images of it as well as further sources. The fact that mentions are scarce in English sources are understandable, it was apparently a development of the 2S1 Gvozdika developed by the Stela works, but after a long and torturous design process, it was eventually shut down with only a few prototypes built. From the pictures are available, some of these still exist in various states of disrepair. As with many articles, it could use improvement and expansion, but Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup.
