Notes | The 122mm M.1910/30 was a modernised version of 122mm M.1910 howitzer. In the late 1920s the Russian army had decided to up-grade their large stocks of world war one artillery and this resulted in new chambers, new gun sights and better carriages. It was a divisional howitzer and was issued to mixed artillery regiments in infantry and mountain divisions. It was the most common howitzer used by the Soviets and saw action against the Finns and the Japanese and later the Germans. |
