NotesThe 152mm Br-2 was a long range gun and was mounted on a tracked chassis. It could be moved in one piece but only over short distances and had to have the barrel removed to allow for movement in two parts over long distances. It was kept in reserve and initially issued to a single heavy regiment, which was later expanded to four super heavy regiments.
