This cannon was capable of launching an AP shell at a velocity of 740m/s. It was also capable of hitting a target 2 meters tall at 900 meters. Its maximum range was 13 km at maximum elevation. This project caught the eyes of the military and in march 1955, plant NO 172 was ordered to prepare all the paperwork and begin designing an SPG vehicle made for this gun. They had only till December the same year to prepare 2 vehicles for trials. The basis for this vehicle was the T-10 heavy tank. The engine was the V-12 V-12-5 with 700 horse power. It also had a 187mm superstructure. -- Last edit: 2016-05-02 14:34:36 |
