Over 130,000 tons of Soviet artillery was dropped on Nazi Germany and its forces, while the second largest amount artillery during the second world war is claimed by the U.K. at 16,000 tons fired. It is no doubt that Russia is the pioneer of artillery as we know it. As Russian artillery evolved to fight an even greater war fantastic systems were created such as the Bm-27 “Uragan“ and the 2s3 “Akatsia“. Today Russia’s artillery system is second to none with the worlds largest number of various systems totaling more than 15,200 pieces. Closest competitor is China with 12,000 pieces.
