Notes | The 122mm A-19 gun was a new design and was produced from 1935 to 1939. It was the first Russian gun to be designed with a split trail and modern carriage, these allowed for greater elevation and wider traverse. It did have some problems and these were mainly with the carriage. It was also found that the elevation system was slow. It was issued to corps artillery regiments and saw action against the Japanese and Finns, and served right through world war two. |
