#1: Russian towed artillery and their towing tractors Author: Tanklord, Location: LouisianaPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 12:48 pm ---- I have model kits of the following Russian artillery pieces:
M1931/1937 122mm corps gun
M1937 ML-20 152 mm howitzer
M 1931 B-4 203 mm Howitzer
I also have the following vehicles as kits:
ChTZ S-65 Tractor
Voroshilovets Tractor
Komintern Artillery Tractor
My question is, would these tractors have towed these artillery pieces, especially during WWII?

The more or less definitive book on Soviet artillery tractors by Jochen Vollert "Tyagatshi" has images of the S-65, Komintern and Voroshilovets towing most of the guns you mentioned. Captured Russian artillery tractors were used by the Wehrmacht in large numbers to tow German heavy artillery pieces.
