M-30 122mm Howitzer (Type 54 China

The Soviet M-30 was a one-hundred-and-twenty-two-millimeter howitzer adopted before the Second World War and used extensively by the Red Army. Its long service and wide export career included Chinese production as the Type 54. That relationship connects the two designations, although national manufacture and later service do not mean every component or operational setting was identical.

The M-30 was the Soviet 122mm howitzer model of 1938 and became a standard divisional artillery weapon. Its split-trail carriage allowed a useful traverse without moving the entire weapon, while the barrel could elevate for indirect fire. Chinese manufacture extended the design’s life after the Soviet wartime production program. The Type 54 and improved Type 54-1 belong to that postwar production lineage, connecting a prewar Soviet artillery design with later Asian armies.
