History
In July 1941, on the initiative of the chief designer V. G. Grabin and the development team of plant No. 92 under the leadership of P. F. Muravyov, the 57-mm anti-tank gun of the ZIS-2 modification was mounted on the Komsomolets. Having quickly passed military tests at the end of July and August 1941, it was adopted by the Red Army , and the obtained open self-propelled guns ZIS-30, although they turned out to be unstable when firing (a small support base (although the vehicle was equipped with folding openers for greater stability when firing), a large the height of the line of fire), however, were distributed into the troops, mainly in the anti-tank batteries of the anti-tank divisions of individual tank brigades , and used in the battle of Moscow .
By order of the People’s Commissar of Arms of the USSR, the 92nd plant was to begin serial production of the ZIS-30 from September 1, 1941. Machines of this brand were mass-produced at the artillery factory No. 92 in the second half of 1941 by the open installation of the ZiS-2 anti-tank gun on the T-20 Komsomolets artillery tractor.
A total of 100 self-propelled guns ZiS-30 were fired, which participated in the battles of 1941-1942 and were well received in the army due to the effectiveness of the ZiS-2 gun. However, due to their small numbers, breakdowns, and combat losses, they did not have any noticeable effect on the course of the war.
In September 1941, the 4th, 10th , 12th , 13th , 14th , 15th , 16th separate tank brigades, 38th motorcycle regiment and 8 pieces received 11th separate tank brigade each with 4 gun mounts ; in October, 8 vehicles arrived in the 17th , 18th , 19th , 20th , 21st , 22nd , 23rd , 27th separate tank brigades.
In the Red Army, by the summer of 1942, there were practically no these self-propelled guns left, some of the vehicles were lost in battle , and some were out of order for technical reasons (overloaded chassis and worn out base).
