NotesThe 76.2mm F-22 was the main Soviet divisional gun during the late 1930s and early 1940s. It was originally designed as a universal gun which could be used in both field artillery and anti-aircraft roles. It was heavy for a field gun but was issued as a replacement for the old M.1902/30 field gun. It was issued to field regiments at divisional level and saw service against the Finns and Japanese before facing the Germans in 1941.
