[strike]Are you sure this is a Russian artillery piece? I haven't found any info about semi-turreted mountings with approximately 8-inch caliber that I can estimate by the first photo.[/strike]
I thought about 8″ L/50 Vickers gun becuase the tube is quite similar to this one, but the mounting confused me…

Hi Sturm78,

two latest summer photos — 8" L/50 Vickers guns (Odessa or Ochakov), the recent one — 130mm L/55 M1913 (Duderhof Heights near Leningrad, battery "A", gun No.1).

Regards, Denis

I think you're right. It cannot be 40mm Bofors, because it had only 4 granades in a clip.

With best,

Of course, the rockets are M-13, they are twice longer.

Also the chassis is quite rare ZIS-6 6x4 truck.

This is a 100 mm twin mount of so-called Minisini system (drawings), see http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNIT_39-47_m1924.htm. It has a special mechanism of raising the trunnions for elevation increase.
