35 . 5 cm Haubitze M1 The 35 . 5 cm Haubitze M1 was a German siege howitzer . It was developed by Rheinmetall before World War II to meet the German Army ' s request for a super - heavy howitzer . Eight were produced between 1939 and 1944 . It saw service in the Battle of France and spent the rest of the war on the Eastern Front , participating in Operation Barbarossa , the Siege of Sevastopol , the Siege of Leningrad and helped to put down the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 . Description . The " Haubitze M1 " was best described as an enlarged " 24 cm Kanone 3 " . It used many of the same design principles as the smaller weapon including the dual - recoil system and a two - part carriage capable of all - around traverse when mounted on its firing platform . It also disassembled into six loads for transport . The loads were cradle , barrel , top carriage , bottom carriage , front platform and turntable and the rear platform . Each piece on its trailer was towed by a " Sd . Kfz . 9 " half - track . A seventh half - track towed the gantry crane required to assemble the weapon . The gantry crane ( powered by a generator on its towing vehicle ) would be erected at the new firing position and would take about two hours to assemble the entire weapon . The howitzer ' s dual recoil system meant that the barrel in its ring cradle would recoil on the carriage while the carriage would recoil , in turn , on the firing platform . The recoil for both parts was controlled by hydro - pneumatic cylinders . Its elevation gear and ammunition hoist were electrically powered from the generator , although both could be used manually if necessary . Only a concrete - piercing shell ( " Betongranate " ) with a ballistic cap was ever used by this weapon . It used of propellant in four increments to reach a range of . Combat history . During the Battle of France one howitzer equipped " Super - Heavy Artillery Battery ( schwerster Artillerie - Batterie ) 810 " under the command of " I Corps " , " Army Group B " . It bombarded Belgian fortifications of the " PFL I Line " after the fall of Fort Eben - Emael on the first day of the battle . The battery was absorbed by " Heavy Artillery Battalion 641 " as its first battery on 27 July 1940 and it fought with that battalion on the Eastern Front during Operation Barbarossa where it initially was assigned to the 9th Army , Army Group Center . In 1942 it participated in the assault on Sevastopol under the command of 11th Army of Army Group South . It accompanied that army north to Leningrad during the summer of 1942 so that it could participate in the Siege of Leningrad . Soviet efforts to relieve the siege frustrated several German attempts to consolidate their positions there , but the battalion remained there through the beginning of 1944 . It participated in the German efforts to suppress the Warsaw Uprising in August — September 1944 . Strangely , no more than one howitzer can be identified in service at any one time even though five were delivered in 1942 and a few others in the following years .

Combined Anti - Armor Team A Combined Anti - Armor Team is a concept of operations in the United States Marine Corps where a platoon in a weapons company is employed to combat armored vehicles with heavy machine guns and TOW missiles , in addition to providing security for convoys . CAAT platoons are one form of employment for heavy weapons in an infantry unit . Personnel . A CAAT platoon is composed of machine gunners and anti - tank missilemen . They team up to provide the combined arms power of the M2 Browning . 50 caliber heavy machine gun , Mk 19 40MM automatic grenade launcher , M - 240G medium machine gun , and the TOW missile system either from vehicles or from a ground position . Basic operations against armored vehicles . In its most basic role , a CAAT platoon and its various sections and teams will engage armored vehicles ( tanks , APCs , etc . ) first with heavy machine guns , usually the M2 . 50 caliber machine gun . This is to " button up " the vehicle , or have the vehicle operators close all the hatches in order to protect themselves from the incoming rounds . When the target is effectively buttoned up , the TOW missile operator will fire a TOW missile , which , upon impact , will cause a dramatic increase in pressure in the closed target vehicle ( such as a tank ) , causing it to explode from the overpressure , eliminating the enemy . Additional missions . Due to their vehicle - borne nature , CAAT platoon will provide scouting capabilities during movements . They will traditionally take the lead for a movement of vehicles for security reasons , and therefore also taking responsibility for navigation and orientation . In addition , CAAT vehicles will be the last vehicles in the convoy ( the rear , or " tail end charlie " ) for protection and get visual identitification on any oncoming vehicles from behind . If necessary , other CAAT vehicles can scout parallel routes or forward positions as necessary . Organization of a CAAT platoon . A CAAT platoon will be divided into 2 or 3 sections , and each section will have an odd number of teams . Each section will be headed by a staff NCO , and the remaining pairs of vehicles will have NCOs in charge ( personnel permitting ) . The billets ( or jobs ) in a vehicle can include : The CAAT teams will usually be paired up as one heavy machine gun and one TOW truck . This allows the combined arms effect that is most effective on an armored vehicle . Usually the section heads ( the odd vehicle of the paired teams ) have an Mk 19 , while the other teams have a . 50 cal , M - 240G , or a TOW missile . In addition , the section heads usually travel with a team ( making three vehicles ) , so as to not be left alone .

Also , it has a direct equivalence with the missile HOT , " elder brother " of MILAN missile . The system is designed to engage moving and stationary armoured targets provided with explosive reactive armour ( ERA ) protection . The KONKURS - M system can be carried by armored wheeled and tracked wehicles . The 9P135M1 launcher can be provided with a thermal imager for night or poor visibility conditions . When fitted with the thermal imager , which weighs 9 . 6 kg , it allows engagements at ranges up to 2500m . The launcher is designed to launch the 9M111 , 9M111M , 9M113 , and 9M113M missiles . The 9M113M missile has a tandem warhead with an extended nose probe to defeat explosive reactive armour before the main warhead initiates to penetrate 750 to 800 mm of main armour . Missile has a semiautomatic control system with command transmission by wires . Missiles are supplied in sealed containers placed directly on the launcher .
