76 mm DRP-4: Soviet dynamo-reactive gun
In the 1930s, when the economy of the Soviet Union was developing rapidly, free money appeared and the opportunity to spend it on experiments. For example, radio-controlled airplanes, torpedo boats and tanks, mines exploded at a distance, unusual airborne techniques, rocket weapons. In the late 1930s, rumors about miracle weapons somehow fell through the earth on their own. However, by the beginning of the 1940s, the time of unbridled inventions was over, and the designers began to develop new and improved old weapons that the armies needed during the WW2.
The history of creation of recoilless artillery, whether dynamo-jet guns (DRP) as it was said in the USSR began in the mid-1920s, in the workshop of the laboratories of the Committee for Inventions, which was led by Leonid Kurchevsky.
