702330 1/35 PLA PL96 122mm Howitzer
The Soviet D-30 122-mm Howitzer (GRAU index 2A18) first entered service in the 1960s. It is a relatively light and hand y weapon despite being heavy enough for sustained long range fire in the field. The D-30 has a maximum range of 15.4 kilometers, or over 21 km using RAP ammunition . With its striking three-leg stabilizing system the D-30 can be rapidly traversed through 360 degrees. Although no longer manufactured in FSU nation s the D-30 is still manufactured internationally and is in service in more than 60 countries' armed forces. The 2A18 gun is the primary weapon of the 2S1 self-propelled howitzer. There are also Egyptian, Chinese, and Syrian self-propelled variants and conversions. The Syrian con version utilizes the hull of a T-34 tank.
