 D-30 122mm Howitzer Review by Cookie Sewell (SKIF 1/35)
The D-30 is the last of the major Soviet era 122mm weapons to be designed and fielded.
It was specifically designed to be emplaced in less than two minutes and packed up to go in the same period of time, in order to provide mobile firepower to motorized rifle divisions.
It was later supplanted by the 122mm 2S1 howitzer, which used a ballistically identical howitzer as its main armament.
