The 75 mm Schneider-Danglis 06/09 (Greek: Ορειβατικό πυροβόλο των 75χιλ. Schneider-Δαγκλής, υποδ. 1908) (French: Matériel de montagne à tir rapide de 75mm, type MPD) was a 75mm mountain gun used by multiple countries prior to, during and after World War I.
The gun was designed by a Greek artillery officer, Major Panagiotis Danglis, in 1893. It featured an inner barrel which could be removed from a combination outer barrel & breech mechanism, making for easier transportation. The carriage had rotating cranked axle stubs, allowing for high or low elevation. Underneath the gun was a cradle with a hydro-pneumatic recoil system, as well as an S-shaped shield and hinged box trail, the latter of which allowed the gun to be drawn by horses from fitted shafts. It was used by Greece during the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), Balkan Wars, World War I, and World War II. The Russian Empire purchased several guns from Schneider-Creusot in France, but also manufactured 400 licensed guns at the Putilov Works. Bulgaria captured 5 guns during World War I. Finland purchased an unknown quantity which were used during the Winter War.[1][2][3][4]
