A German anti-aircraft gun: The 7,62-cm Räderflak L/30 (russ 02).
Belgian coast, 1917-18.
This is the transformation by Krupp of the 76.2-mm L/30 M1902 Russian Putilov field gun, turning it into an anti-aircraft gun, in this case fixed on a two-wheeled carriage: the 7.62-cm L/30 Räderflak (russ 02). 120 pieces were transformed between March and June 1917.
With a design reminiscent of the 7.7-cm anti-aircraft gun "Räder B.A.K." [Räderflak from mid-1916] L/35 (fraz 97) Krupp M1915 and also the 7.62-cm Räderflak L/30 (russ 00) Krupp M1916, however had better technical characteristics.

**********
Se trata de la transformación realizada por Krupp, del cañón de campaña ruso Putilov de 76.2-mm L/30 M1902, convirtiendolo en un cañon antiaéro, en este caso, fijado sobre un carruje de dos ruedas: el 7,62-cm L/30 Räderflak (russ 02). 120 piezas fueron transformadas entre marzo y junio de 1917.
Con un diseño que recuerda el del cañón antiaéreo 7,7-cm "Räder B.A.K." [Räderflak a partir de mediados de 1916] L/35 (fraz 97) Krupp M1915 y también el del 7,62-cm Räderflak L/30 (russ 00) Krupp M1916, tenía sin embargo mejores características técnicas.
