The ZiS-3 was a Soviet 76.2 mm divisional field gun used during World War II. It was renowned for its versatility, effectiveness, and simple design. Developed in 1942, it quickly became one of the most widely produced artillery pieces of the war. Its adaptability allowed it to serve as an anti-tank gun, field gun, and even as an improvised anti-aircraft gun.
The ZiS-3 played a crucial role in Soviet victories, especially during the Battle of Stalingrad and the later stages of the war. Its combination of firepower, mobility, and reliability made it a formidable weapon on the battlefield.
