My favorite exhibit in Kubinka - Karl self-propelled Mortar, 600mm caliber! Karl-Gerät 040 MANUFACTURER Rheinmetall PRODUCTION 1940-1942 NUMBER BUILT 7 SPECIFICATION COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Germany.gif Nazi Germany WEIGHT 124 tonnes DIMENSIONS Length : 11.45m Width : 3.16m Height : 4.38m (firing position) MAIN ARMAMENT 1 x 600 mm (24-inch) Morser SPEED 6-10 km/h (3,7-6,2 mph) Karl self-propelled Mortar! That is 600mm caliber! "Karl-Gerät" (040/041) also known as Mörser Karl, was a World War II German self-propelled super-heavy siege mortar (Mörser) designed and built by Rheinmetall. Its heaviest munition was a 60 cm (24 in) diameter, 2,170 kg (4,780 lb) shell, and the range for its lightest shell of 1,250 kg (2,760 lb) was just over 10 km (6.2 mi). Each gun had to be accompanied by a crane, a heavy transport trailer, and several modified tanks to carry shells. Karl has the largest caliber gun in the series - At 600mm, this caliber even surpasses the 460mm guns placed on the Yamato-class battleships, which were the largest and most powerful battleships in history. The only surviving Karl is now on display at Kubinka Tank Museum. Book the tour to the museum: https://www.russiaeguide.com/patriot-park-tour.html
