| During battles near Tula on 30 October 30 about 40 52-K guns were used as AT guns; but due to a poor defense plan most of them were destroyed or captured by the Germans. These guns were widely used as anti-tank guns similarly to the German 88mm, especially during early period of War, when the Red Army had a great lack of effective AT guns. For example, these guns were used during battle for Moscow in 1941 as AT guns. In this image is a 52-K gun of 6th Battery of 732nd Anti-Aircraft Regiment in town of Tula, 30 October 1941.
