MT-12 RAPIRA (anti-tank gun)

The 100 mm anti-tank gun MT-12 (2A29) Rapira is an evolution of the T-12 gun, which was the main anti-tank weapon of the Soviet Army during the 1960s. Initially the MT-12 was designated as “T -12A“, and although the barrel is the same as that of the T-12 anti-tank gun, it differs from it in some of the components, especially the carriage, the gun shield and the equilibrator. Despite being a fairly old weapon, it is showing that it is still useful and effective in the 21st century, as is being demonstrated in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in 2022, where it is being used by both contenders.
