The Schneider-designed 75 PstK/97-38 “Mulatti” (75 mm antitank gun M/97-38 “Mulato”), derived from the 75 K/97 “Marianne” (75 mm Cannon Model 1897 / Materiel de 75, Modele 1897) and modified for the Maavoimat, this was an effective ant-tank gun during the Winter War. Together with light weight, good mobility and sufficient anti-armor performance with the HEAT shell (enough to penetrate a T-26 in most situations; the side armor of a KV could also be pierced), the gun was a decent anti-tank weapon. Some 140 were in service with the Maavoimat on the outbreak of the Winter War. A further 110 entered service through Jjanuary 1940.
