The 76-mm divisional gun M1936 (F-22) was a Soviet divisional semi-universal gun, adopted for Red Army service in 1936. This gun was used in conflicts between the USSR and Japan on the Far East, in the Winter War and in World War II. Many F-22s were captured by the Wehrmacht during Operation Barbarossa. Modernized and redesignated as the Feldkanone 296(r), captured guns were used against their originators.
