Legendary ZIS-3 fighting in Yemen
The legend of the Soviet artillery - divisional gun model 1942, ZiS-3 caliber 76 mm - still in service, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
If in the Russian Federation ZiS-3 will be used during ceremonial events for the production of salutes, then abroad continues to participate in hostilities. The gun was repeatedly seen in the positions of the Syrian troops and in Yemen.
It was previously noted that in Yemen, along with modern technology, rarities such as Tanks T-34 and self-propelled guns Su-100.
As for the gun ZiS-3, the "secret" of its popularity in this region is clear - it is unpretentious in operation and easy to learn. A modern tank from it, of course, does not inflate, but an armored personnel carrier or infantry fighting vehicle is quite possible. In addition, the gun is successfully used in the shelling of roadblocks and other military installations.
ZiSy also began to install on off-road vehicles, which, in fact, turns them into lightweight self-propelled units. The photographs that appeared on the web show that the Japanese pickup Toyota was the wheelbase for the gun.
The gun hits the enemy with direct fire and, apparently, he manages to avoid return fire.
Successful use of such self-propelled guns can lead to an increase in their number, since both the guns themselves and their ammunition are still sufficient in Yemen.
