The Russian military industry produced an experimental batch of 2S41 Drok self-propelled mortars. The first batch of self-propelled mortars was transferred to the Russian military for testing. The press service of the Russian state corporation Rostec noted that the weapon system was developed on the basis of the Typhoon armored vehicle and allows firing without the crew leaving the vehicle.

The mock-up of a new combat vehicle with a 4x4 wheel arrangement was first presented at the Army-2018 forum. In the same year, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that state testing of the 2S41 Drok would take place in 2019. Later, in 2020, the launch of the mortar in serial production was scheduled for 2021 or later.
