The d-20 gun-howitzer was developed shortly after the end of ww2 by the f. Petrov design bureau; it was intended to replace the pre-war 152 mm ml-20 howitzer (m1937). The barrel length of the gun is 25 calibers. The d-20 was the first 152-mm cannon system to incorporate a semiautomatic vertical-sliding-wedge breech block. The gun was also used for the self-propelled 2s3 akatsiya. The d-20 is in operation in at least 13 countries and has been license manufactured in the people's republic of china as the type 66 (or the improved version type 66-1). Its self-propelled version known as type 83 was first introduced in the mid-1980s. :
