Historical Information

The F-22 76.2 mm gun, officially designated the 76-mm divisional gun model 1936 (F-22), was developed in the USSR by a team led by engineer Grabin. It entered service with the Red Army in 1936, serving as both a field and anti-tank gun. The F-22 saw combat in decisive encounters such as the campaign against Finland (the Winter War, 1939–1940) and in key battles on the Eastern Front of World War II. After being captured by the Wehrmacht, these guns were adapted for use against Soviet tanks—converted to use German ammunition as the Pak 36(r).
