The positions say that the howitzer 105 mm caliber has already drowned, already stable and beats exactly. Jacks' military military says that he has been working on the American M101 gun for three months. She says she is quite similar to Soviet D30, but more convenient. "It is even easier. Two gunners are here. One is responsible for the angle of the fire, the other for the sight.
Most often they work from it in hostile infantry, beat up to 10 km away. Although they hit both motorcyclists and small armored vehicles of the Russians ", - Jacks fighter says that the technique is old, but reliable. The main thing is to serve it in time and clean it. Howitzer M101A1 (previous name M2A1) is an artillery installation developed in the United States. It was a standard American light field howitzer in World War II and during the Korean War.
After production began in 1941, she quickly gained reputation due to accuracy and a powerful blow. M101A1 shoots 105 mm ammunition and has a radius of 11 270 m, which makes it suitable for maintaining infantry. Mass production of howitzers at the Rock Island Arsenal lasted until 1953, the total number of M2A1 made was brought to 10 202 units. However, in the following years, the issue of howitzers M101A1 was periodically renewed for the execution of export orders.
The last such order (133 howitzers) was received in 1981 from Indonesia. The last campaign of the American army, which was widely used by howitzers of M101A1, was the war in Vietnam. But they were received in the post -war years by NATO, as well as a number of countries in the Middle East. Historian Andriy Kharuk said that Ukraine received 18 such howits in September 2022.
