F. Petrov's Motovilikha team and serially produced from 1939. Its 11.8 km range, simple carriage, and wide postwar distribution kept it visible long after newer 122 mm guns appeared, with documented recent appearances in Russian, Syrian, YPG, and Armenian/Artsakh conflict records.

Official U.S. Army history identifies it as the standard 155 mm howitzer of the Korean and Vietnam wars, while recent catalog evidence centers on legacy stocks reappearing with Houthi-aligned forces in Yemen and Ukrainian forces during the Russia-Ukraine War.

Entering service in 1970, it stayed relevant because the redesigned carriage, MT-LB towing arrangement, and 9M117 Kastet guided-round option gave crews a flexible legacy direct-fire and light-support weapon.
