M-30 howitzer

divisional howitzer

The standard Soviet divisional howitzer of the war, the M-30 combined a reliable split-trail carriage with a hard-hitting 122mm shell, and its basic design proved so sound that variants remained in production and in use with armies around the world for decades afterward.
