The 22-mm howitzer M1938 (M-30) was adopted by the Soviet Army shortly before the Great Patriotic War to replace obsolete models from the First World War.
After the war, the M1938 became the standard divisional howitzer of other Warsaw Pact armies. It has also been sold to armies in other parts of the world. The M1938 is mounted on a box-section carriage equipped with a shield. The recoil system consists of a hydraulic buffer above the pipe and a hydropneumatic recuperator below it. The shutter is a hinged screw type.
