If had played the person of the warlike game of all sorts of subject matter to be able to be opposite certainly the caliber of weaponry is more sensitive, with respect to the department that take Russia and beautiful department. With respect to the caliber of artillery of equipment of these two kinds of mode, often hear 152 or 155. In feasibility condition, what Russian-made howitzer uses is the caliber of 152 millimeter, however the caliber that what western howitzer uses is 155 millimeter. So what is the cause that causes caliber of weapon of these two genre to differ?
Actually with respect to these two kinds of caliber, do not have the distinction of what essence. Though at present 155 caliber of the west are compared Russian-made 152 more advanced, but this advanced reason is not those who depend on caliber is different. Because two countries is impossible in the beginning of design to discuss through what unite, howitzer requirements is so different OK and very good understanding. After coming down certainly when main line of action, henceforth basically forward this kind of fixed requirements comes research and development.
Having a kind of view is, the Russia at that time can say with the west is relation of a kind of opposed, the war can erupt possibly at any time. After erupting when the war, use the weapon of oneself capture to do not let the enemy, the caliber nature that so artillery designs is different. If Russia respect capture western country the artillery shell of 155 millimeter howitzer, because the 152 requirements with oneself are different, cannot use on the equipment of oneself so.
When howitzer should confirm line of action of a kind of research and development, follow-up research and development is fundamental namely forward this kind of requirements will design. A reason is the compatible problem of artillery shell, if all sorts of artillery united caliber later, OK a kind of artillery shell is used on the weapon of a lot of kinds of model. It is OK above all mass production, and in war because the differ and cannot shoot artillery shell situation of caliber is very bad,happened. And to the maintenance of logistics the respect also saved a lot of fund.
So, 152 because the habit of the design is different,following the caliber difference of 155 is, can saying is a kind of inheritance. But at present western howitzer is about to compare Russian-made more advanced, china's so current howitzer is designed also continue to use the requirements of 155 comes the west design. So why to say to do not have a relation with caliber? Because the years of the design is different. Russian-made howitzer is early before World War II with respect to establish the mode of 152, but of the west 155 be in afterwar 60 time just gradually of establish.
So the standard of divisional and advanced degree is not in contemporary howitzer caliber, it is above canal of prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a panbig gun. The long way of the canal that be like prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a panbig gun is older than jumping over, the initiative rate of artillery shell is rapidder also, so cannon-shot is further also. To howitzer of 05 type proper motion, because learned design form of the west, also used western caliber naturally with respect to ability so. And 155 than 152 even much 3 millimeter, can increase the power of Chan Mei artillery shell so, where is what is there against it?
