War in ukraine

Russians revealed the use of a hybrid of the M-46 gun and, which includes elements of the 130mm AK-130 shipboard artillery system.

This M-46 has a carriage and, as can be seen in the video, a manual bolt and barrel from the AK-130, respectively, as evidenced by the use of a unitary 130mm high explosive А3-УФ-44 round (the M-46 originally had separate loading of the projectile and charge).

The situation is similar with other naval artillery, there is surplus ammunition from ships, but there is no place to use it, so it has to be adapted for ground use in a land war.
