I am asking for help about two artillery pieces. That were used by the North Vietnames.
1) The Soviet, 122mm, D74. and the.
2) Soviet, 130mm, M46
I know some facts about these as they were used in North Vietnam and manufactured by the Soviets
Does anyody have any close shots of one, its artillary, the artillery and the site mount. I ask this because when a SOG Team found one in a magnificent hiding place. They found it when one of the team members hand went up to it onto camoflage netting. They tore away the netting and found huge doors(2) that must of weighed 500 pounds a piece but they were easily manhandled. They went almost all the way back and the found the gun on rails to fire enough rounds into places such as Bien Het, Khe Sahn, Quang Tri, Kham Duc and the other Special Forces camps near the Laotion and the Cambodian border with those being FOB for SOG were FOB To SOG. They came back with three rounds in their containers humping back to the LZ to be picked up from there. From there they were given to Ben "Conrad" Baker to be anylized for possible country of origin and to see if it can be used it in opreartion "Pole Bean"
