M-46 130mm Towed Field Gun (M-46 cannon )

The M-46 is a venerable Soviet-designed 130mm towed field gun that has been widely produced under license and used by China and many other nations. It is valued for its long range and potent shell, offering powerful indirect fire support. Although an older design, the M-46 remains in service globally, often upgraded with modern fire control systems to maintain its relevance as a reliable piece of medium-to-long-range field artillery.
