+After several failures with the modernization of the 152 mm siege cannon of 1910, two howitzers, ML-15 and ML—20, were developed in the Design Bureau of plant No. 172. The ML-20 project was led by the famous designer F. F. Petrov, the initiative began work on it, while the ML-15 was created on the instructions of the GAU. Both guns borrowed elements from the 152 mm cannon of 1910/34, such as the barrel, bolt and recoil devices. The ML-20 had a similar wheel arrangement, while the structural elements of the ML-15 were redesigned.
