The Soviets supplied many excellent artillery systems to their Arab clients. Among these was the impressive 130mm M-46 towed gun (a.k.a. M1954) – a Syrian example is portrayed. This had among the highest muzzle velocity and range of artillery in the region. With substantial numbers of these guns captured by the IDF during the Six-Day War, they were pressed into service against their former owners with ammunition manufactured in Israel.
