In Syria, terrorists smash guns of the Great Patriotic ML-20

A video appeared on the Internet using artillery positions from the Syrian National Defense Forces (NDF) in the province of Hama. Along with more modern weapons fighters apply the ML-20 since World War II, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

“These weapons were used by the Syrian army during the 1967 and 1973 fighting. Over time, they were replaced by more modern ones. However, during the civil war, because of the existing problems with making up for the losses, the howitzers-cannons again fell into the troops, where they are still fighting successfully, ”the material says.

For a number of characteristics of the ML-20, it is difficult to compete with modern samples - “for example, its transport speed on the highway is only 40 km / h. The modern 152-mm howitzer 2А65 "Msta-B" has twice as many, "the author notes.

In addition, the range of the ML-20 is 20 500 m, and the howitzer, adopted by the 1986 year, - 28 900 m.



The veteran's weight is 7270 kg, the rate of fire is 3-4 shot per minute, the calculation is 9 people (for the Msta howitzer, respectively, 7 and 8).

In Syria, 122-mm howitzer M-30 model 1938 of the year, as well as the famous guns - 57-mm ZiS-2 and 76-mm ZiS-3 are also used.

Why do not they smash them there. What checked weapons seventy years ago ceased to be weapons?

Where is it interesting 57mm ZiS-2 interesting?

[210ox]

Probably from fenders ... I saw a photo of 45 years where the Americans fired from a "twice captured" ZIS-2.. In my opinion, this gun was there.

Where is there 57mm ZiS-2

Flashed repeatedly. On VO 14.08 last year there was an article with a link to the Bulletin of Mordovia, there is also silence about the sources of income.

A tenacious tool since that time did not become worthless. And before this conflict, they were not in grease and after their release more than once opened fire. Our designers laid a 10-fold reserve for survivability

Well, I don’t think that it’s often required ..., tell the gunners, is artillery often used at the maximum range?

For a howitzer - the main hinged trajectory and accuracy of hit, allowing to destroy the frontally fortified structures.
Firing range is like free mats in a car when purchased at a car dealership. Especially this "addicted" when comparing tank guns ....

In the photo above, not the ML-20 but the 122-mm howitzer M-30. However, at the bottom of the article about her is mentioned.
