The D-30 122mm is a very reliable howitzer with small dimensions and weight...A 122mm howitzer was adopted into armament in 1960. It was designed according to the new scheme: it had three trails instead of the usual two trails; its running gear was installed on the upper mount; also the jack was installed for lowering and lifting the gun when shifting it from one position to another. The howitzer is transported in the unusual way – with barrel looking forward. The time of shifting the gun from the transportation position to the firing one is 1,5-2,5 min. The D-30 122mm is a very reliable howitzer with small dimensions and weight. It is an unsurpassed type of the army artillery even nowadays.
