All the heavy artillery battalions of the Red Army were
motorised and can be found supporting everything from
tanks and motor rifle units to cavalry and infantry.
These units could be armed with a variety of heavy guns
and howitzers. Most commonly they were equipped with Gun or howitzer Gun or howitzer
122mm or 152mm howitzers, providing additional punch
to the various field artillery battalions.
Some units were armed with longer-ranged weapons such Howitzer Platoon Howitzer Platoon
