152mm BR-2 relv Mod.1935 - fotod ja video

2007 152 mm kahur M1935 (Br-2) (vene keeles 152-мм пушка обр. 1935 г. (Бр-2)) oli Nõukogude Liidu 152,4 mm raskekahur, mida toodeti piiratud koguses Barrikady tehases Stalingradis 1930. aastate lõpus. Kahuri kõige ebatavalisem omadus oli roomikvanker, mida jagasid mitmed sõdadevahelise perioodi Nõukogude raskesuurtükiväesüsteemid. Vaatamata mitmetele puudustele, eelkõige piiratud liikuvusele ja tünni lühikesele kasutuseale, kasutati relva kogu Saksa-Nõukogude sõja vältel; ratastega vankriga täiustatud variant Br-2M jäi teenistusse vähemalt 1970. aastateni.
