76 ItK/34 Vickers
In 1933, a total of 12 of these anti-aircraft cannons were purchased from the UK, but they were partly manufactured in Finland. The cannons entered into service in 1934. During the Winter War, there were batteries armed with these cannons in Helsinki (Herttoniemi, Taivaskallio and Myllykallio). The cannons were phased out by 1966.
