Fiche
Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour les modules ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
Malian Armed Forces (FAMa): Long in service; among the heaviest indirect fire the state fields. No count recorded. · Ukraine: A core towed-artillery type throughout the war, sustained by allied ammunition supply. · Russia: Fielded alongside newer self-propelled systems.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
In Ukraine, a baseline towed howitzer of the artillery war — simple to crew and fed by whichever 122mm stocks allies can source. In Mali, among the heaviest indirect fire the state fields, used from garrison hubs. The same gun serves industrial attrition in one war and hub defence in the other.
Points forts
A three-trail carriage that traverses a full circle without moving the gun, a weight light enough to be towed by a truck or slung under a helicopter, and ammunition produced in many countries — which is what has kept Ukrainian batteries supplied.
Limites
Short range by modern standards and a towed gun's slow displacement, which the drone-directed counter-battery war in Ukraine punishes; in Mali the constraint is different — few guns, and a supply chain for 122 mm ammunition that runs through Russia.
Pertinence pour les campagnes
Dérivé : une organisation participant à ces campagnes porte une association d’équipement typée avec ce système. Ce n’est pas la même chose qu’un emploi documenté du système dans la campagne elle-même.
- Campagne de blocus du carburant du JNIM Declared September 2025; eased and reimposed since
via Malian Army (Armée de Terre) (Documented)
Identification visuelle
A short-barrelled gun with a large double-baffle muzzle brake on a distinctive three-trail carriage that folds into a triangle; the barrel is towed pointing backward over the closed trails.
Emploi documenté dans les conflits
UKRAINE–RUSSIA. Documented in Ukrainian service across the whole war and in Russian service beside self-propelled types; losses on both sides visually documented. Ukraine's 122 mm supply from allied Soviet-era stocks and new foreign production is a recurring subject of the allied ammunition coalitions. SAHEL. Long-standing Malian holdings reported at garrison hubs; no employment in a named engagement is documented from open sources.
