The 85 mm divisional gun D-44 was a Soviet artillery piece that was developed after World War II. It was designed to replace the older 76 mm divisional guns that were used during the war. The D-44 had a longer barrel, a higher muzzle velocity, and a greater range than its predecessors. It could fire armor-piercing, high-explosive, and smoke shells. The D-44 was also equipped with a semi-automatic breech and a split-trail carriage that allowed it to be towed by trucks or tractors.
The D-44 was used by the Soviet Army and its allies in various conflicts, such as the Korean War, the Suez Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Arab-Israeli wars. The D-44 was also exported to many countries, such as China, Egypt, India, Iraq, North Korea, and Syria. The D-44 was a reliable and effective weapon that served as the main divisional gun of the Soviet Army until it was replaced by the 100 mm field gun M1944 (BS-3) in the 1950s.
