The Bereg 130-mm self-propelled coastal defense gun was developed in the late 80s. It is also referred as the A-222. The main mission of this artillery system is to engage surface ships and prevent over-the-beach landings of enemy forces. It can also engage small-size fast moving naval targets, such as small landing ships, fast attack craft and air-cushioned vessels at a range of up to 20 km. It can also engage ground targets. The Bereg was developed as a supplement to mobile costal defense missile systems, as all missile systems have a dead zone from 7 to 25 km and are unable to defend costal zones alone. Another advantage comparing with missiles is cost per fired projectile. The Bereg was first publicly revealed in 1993. A small number of these artillery system is currently in service with Russia. First systems were delivered in 2003. It was also proposed for export customers, however received no production orders.

The 155-millimetre, 52-calibre gun-howitzer fired three shells out to a world-record distance of 47.2 kilometres from the gun position. This was achieved using special, long-range ammunition called “high explosive – base bleed” (HE – BB).
In comparison, 155-millimetre, 52-calibre guns in service worldwide fire this ammunition to maximum ranges of 40-45 kilometres.
