The LK Vz.30 (Lehký Kanon Vzor 30) was designed to replace the aging LK Vz.17 as the standard divisional field gun. It was a modern design which could be broken down into three loads, and just over 200 were produced between 1934 and 1938. It never fully replaced the LK Vz.17 and was issued to Artillery Regiments at divisional level.
