“Stalinist” howitzers observed in Syria




This is an X-NUMX millimeter howitzer M-122 model 30 of the year.

This weapon, which successfully passed the Great Patriotic War, has dozens of local conflicts and is currently contributing to the extermination of radical Islamists in the territory of friendly Syria.



Full combat weight of the gun - 2450 kg. The length of the barrel - 2,8 m. The total length in the stowed position - 5,9 m. The maximum firing range - 11 800 m. The initial velocity of the projectile - 515 m / s. Projectile weight - 21,76 kg. Combat crew - 8 people.



“Of course, compared to such howitzers as the Msta B, which is also used in this theater of operations, it is an instrument, but it destroys militants as effectively as it used to be the German Nazis,” notes publication author Lev Romanov.



In the plot of Syrian television flashed another veteran - a truck "Tatra-148". These cars were delivered from Czechoslovakia. It was believed that such trucks in Syria no longer exist. However, video frames refute this opinion.

        From the language removed! hi

        True, in the Syrian case, it is probably more appropriate. "Gunners, Bаthe ball gave the order! ", but otherwise everything is still relevant

      What else can they shoot?

      Moreover, there are FULL of them. At one time, the USSR still tried with supplies.
      I remember that during the assault on the artillery academy in the pits they were completely standing.

    Well, right. If there is a need to use an old, but time-tested weapon - why not ?! It seems that the shells there are not new, but are thus disposed of for the good.

    Syria is a real museum of weapons. Here, for example, where does this product of the industry of the 3rd Reich come from:

    Z.Y. Somewhere there was already an article about the M-30 in Syria. Another year so in 2015. There were detailed photographs. I remember the release date on the gun: 1941.

      Which of our journalists recently posted a video with the nameplate of the production date, either 43, or 44 years, but I can be wrong. The journalist himself was very surprised by this.

    “Of course, in comparison with such howitzers like Msta B, which is also used in this theater of operations, it’s a weapon, but it destroys militants just as efficiently ..

    Here you read this .. Doesn’t the rumor hurt anyone? ..
    Probably wanted to write:
    "Of course, compared to Msta B, which is also used on this theater, this howitzer is inferior in a number of ways, but it also effectively destroys militants .."

    M-30 is a superclass of barrel artillery, an almost perfect balance of weight and size characteristics with accuracy and range of fire, true in the standards of the 60s, but I think it’s a very suitable weapon for fighting in Syria, especially since the ammunition for it is just a sea .

    The old horse does not spoil the furrow.
    And what difference does it make than sending the Igilites to the other world? M30 showed the last way to the Fritz, the same road to modern non-humans.

    The gun is simple, reliable, unpretentious. Again, with a piston, unlike a wedge, the inexperienced fingers will not be chopped off. It means safer for not the most advanced users.

    ps That's interesting - are they still pouring the spindle into the hydraulics?

    Interestingly, the Syrian howitzers in the film with native wheels. In our DON-100 BB, they were already in the 98th with car wheels. Arrived from Chita, where, probably, relatives scattered from the cold. True, and jumped after the replacement after a shot stronger, so the gunner constantly straightened the guidance.

    You need to beat them at all with what you have to. Howitzers 38 years old, cannons from the times of 1812 and beyond to all those from which the latter will receive the greatest damage.

    Maybe not the topic, but trying to forget Stalin we betray those who rushed under his tanks with his name and saved the world!
