Re: Russian artillery Id.
The AT gun is a 45mm of some sort but its tricky to decide if its a m1942 or earlier version as we can't see the end of the barrel
The AA gun is a 76mm
The AA gun is a 76mm
Re: Russian artillery Id.
Bob, you are right about the 85mm gun - it looks more like a 76 mm gun. And the 45 mm AT gun is a m37!Bob_Mackenzie wrote:The AT gun is a 45mm of some sort but its tricky to decide if its a m1942 or earlier version as we can't see the end of the barrel

Re: Russian artillery Id.
Bob/Befehl227, Two things about this gun, first it has the spoked wheels. Did they do a spoked wheel M42 ? Second, the gun itself is in full recoil, look at the gap between the barrel and the recuperator cylinder, would we be able to see the end of the M37 barrel in full recoil ? Intriguing isn't it ?

Re: Russian artillery Id.
A quick scud around the internet shows no pics of a 42 with spoked wheels but thats to say there were none
Re: Russian artillery Id.
The 76,2 mm AA gun is a M31 with its two-wheel carriage. It was followed by a 4-wheel carriage version as M38.
The German "beute" designation was 7,62 cm Flak M31(r). Some were rebored to 88 mm and became the 7,62/8,8 cm Flak M31(r).

Re: Russian artillery Id.
Thank you very much for your answers, Manuferey and Juha.
As for the Russian guns I suppose that the turret will be a MB-2-180 mount and the single gun in open mount a MO-1-180 or a MO-8-180, no??
Have you another wartime photo of these guns in coastal use? Especially of the single gun mount version
What batteries used these guns in the Baltic area in the Second World War?
