Subtitle: Volume 9: Soviet-Designed Artillery Systems 2014-2024
This spec-heavy booklet covers a variety of towed and self-propelled artillery systems currently in use by Russia and Ukraine. This includes: D-20, D-30, Tyulpan, Giatsint, Pion, Nona, and Msta. Each receives design and development info, tech specs, and context of operational use.
The book contains 137 color photos, 10 black and white photos, 19 black and white illustrations, one black and white map, eight color illustrations, two color diagrams, and 18 color camouflage illustrations (14 self-propelled artillery and four towed guns).
I admit I tended to skim the tech specs part, but found the operational use section the most interesting.
Enjoyed it.
