Weapons of comparable role, performance and era
Seeking new systems from both France and Germany, the 122 mm howitzer M1910 was developed by the French arms manufacturer Schneider et Cie. Russia also bought a very similar system from the German arms manufacturer Krupp, the 122 mm howitzer M1909. 125 pieces were abandoned in Romania after Russia made peace with the Central Powers in 1918. They were put into service by the Romanian Army, in the period 1918-1939. Up to 5,900 pieces were later converted by the Soviet Union into the 122 mm howitzer M1910/30, the most numerous divisional howitzer of the RKKA at the outbreak of Great Patriotic War, it saw service throughout the war.
