Historical Background

The Br-2 (Bolshaya Moshchnost 152mm) was a Soviet heavy howitzer developed in the 1930s and extensively used throughout World War II. With its 152mm caliber, the Br-2 could deliver high-explosive shells to ranges exceeding 17 kilometers, making it one of the most effective long-range artillery pieces in the Soviet arsenal. The Br-2 played a crucial role in major operations on the Eastern Front, providing counter-battery fire, destroying fortifications, and supporting offensive operations from the defense of Moscow through the final assault on Berlin. Its combination of range, accuracy, and firepower made it a feared weapon in Soviet artillery regiments.
