The d-30, or 122-mm howitzer d-30 (grau index 2a18), is a soviet howitzer that first entered service in the 1960s. It is a relatively light and handy 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 stabilising system the d-30 can be rapidly traversed through 360 degrees. Although no longer manufactured in fsu nations 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 conversion utilizes the hull of a t-34 tank.
