Notes | The Soviets were not satisfied with the performance of the F-22 divisional gun and made plans to replace it with a better design. The new model had to be chambered for the large stocks of 76mm ammunition that the Soviets still had on hand and have good elevation and be under 1.500 kg. The new designed was called 76.2mm USV and Production started in late 1939 and ended in 1941, but was soon started again after the invasion by Germany. It was issued to field regiments at divisional level and saw extensive service in world war two. |
