Notes | The 15cm HH Vz.25 (Hrubý Houfnice Vzor 25) was a heavy howitzer which was designed and built by the Czech firm Skoda. The Vz.25 was one of the first weapons to be designed for the Czech military after receiving independence. It had to be transported by horse in two sections and kept the old style carriage with box trail and spoked wheels. They were issued to heavy howitzer regiments. |
