With nearly 20,000 guns produced from 1939 to the mid 1950’s, the M-30 122mm howitzer saw extensive service in World War II and many post war conflicts as well, particularly in the Middle East. While its range is relatively short, its high caliber and good rate of fire allows saturation of targets. Syria acquired many examples of this type, and used them in both the 1967 and 1973 wars.
The Soviet Union re-introduced corps level artillery in 1942, with the D-1 152mm gun as a more mobile heavy artillery piece. Though the range is a relatively short 12km, a trained crew can fire four 40kg high explosive rounds per minute, providing a devastating bombardment. It was widely exported in the post-war years, acquired by Syria and used in the 1967 and 1973 wars.
