The Škoda 75 mm Model 1936 (75 mm M.36) was a mountain gun manufactured by Škoda Works, in Czechoslovakia, and a variant was produced in Soviet Union (as the 76 mm mountain gun M1938). Škoda also produced a handful of the 76.2 mm variant. For transport, the gun could be broken down into three sections, and further broken down into ten loads.
