D-20, 152 mm towed gun-howitzer, ArtilleryArtilleryD-20152 mm towed gun-howitzerSide: Russia / Ukraine / Armenia / Artsakh / Houthi-aligned forces / Yemeni government and coalition forcesBuilt: No. 9 Uralmash Plant / Soviet UnionThe D-20 is a Soviet 152 mm towed gun-howitzer developed in the early Cold War for divisional and army-level fire support. Its split-trail carriage, semi-automatic breech, and standard 17.4 km range made it a long-lived Warsaw Pact artillery system, and Ukrainian forces have documented captured Russian D-20s being turned back against Russian units during the Russia-Ukraine War.
2S3 Akatsiya, 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery2S3 Akatsiya152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerSide: Armenia / Artsakh / RussiaBuilt: Uraltransmash / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2S3 Akatsiya is a Soviet 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer built around the 2A33 gun and a turreted armored chassis. Designed for divisional fire support and accepted into service in 1971, it remains relevant in the Russia-Ukraine War because Russian forces still use legacy Akatsiya batteries for indirect fires despite newer self-propelled artillery types.
152 mm SpGH DANA, 152 mm wheeled self-propelled gun-howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery152 mm SpGH DANA152 mm wheeled self-propelled gun-howitzerSide: Azerbaijan / UkraineBuilt: ZTS Dubnica nad Vahom / Excalibur Army / Czechoslovakia / Slovakia / Czech RepublicThe 152 mm SpGH DANA is a Czechoslovak wheeled self-propelled gun-howitzer built around a Tatra 8x8 chassis, a semi-automatic loading system, and a 152 mm gun compatible with Soviet-pattern ammunition. Azerbaijani DANA M1 systems were reported in use during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh fighting, while Czech-supplied DANA and DANA M2 howitzers later gave Ukrainian forces mobile tube artillery that could shoot and displace faster than towed 152 mm guns.
