From the meeting of the representatives of the technical section of the Ministry of Armaments and the General Staff of the Romanian Army on 2.6.1942, a decision was made to develop and produce a new dual-purpose gun, which was to serve as a conventional field gun and as an anti-tank gun. The head of the project was Col. Nestorescu, other collaborators were Dipl.Ing. Lazar Stoicescu (head of the design department of Resita) and kpt. Eugen Burlacu. It was not intended to be a newly developed design, but a combination of parts from available artillery weapons. They had a Soviet 76 mm divisional gun vz. 1936 (F-22), 76 mm divisional gun vz. 1939 (F-22-USV) and M 1942 divisional gun (ZIS-3), 76 mm field gun vz. 1902 (M1902), a Romanian 75mm Vickers-Resita Md. 1936 anti-aircraft gunVickers-Resita Md. 1936 and a German 7.5cm PaK 40. Three prototypes were produced.

The 1st prototype had a converted barrel from the 76mm divisional gun vz. 1936 (F-22) to 75mm calibre. The ammunition used was Vickers-Resita Md. 1936 ammunition.


The 2nd prototype had a redesigned barrel and muzzle brake from the 76mm field gun vz. 1902 (M1902) to 75mm calibre. The gun used the chassis from the M 1942 divisional gun (ZIS-3).


The 3rd prototype had a muzzle brake, brake recoil mechanism, windage/recoil mechanism, and chassis derived from M 1942 divisional gun (ZIS-3), the barrel with identical rifling and the chamber came from the Vickers/Reşiţa Model 1936 and the projectile chamber came from the PaK 40. The "Costinescu" cartridges were constructed as a combination of a shell from the German PzGr 40 with a Vickers shell. The slash shield, similar to that of the PaK 40, was formed by two joined armour plates of 6 mm thickness. The gap between them was 20 mm.


The prototypes underwent gunnery tests in the summer of 1943, and comparative tests with Soviet guns in 9/1943. On 23/10/1943, gunnery tests were conducted in the presence of Marshal Ion Antonesco. Eight targets were fired, which were 100 mm armoured plates, four of which were placed at an angle of 30° at a distance of 300 metres, another three at an angle of 30° at a distance of 500 metres, and the last one perpendicularly placed at a distance of 1000 metres. The third prototype was the only one of the guns tested to shoot all the targets. Consequently, it was decided to field it in the planned Maresal tank interceptor.
On 10.12.1943 the production of 3500 guns was ordered. They were to be produced at Reşiţa, Astra in Brasov and Concordia in [iaa]Ploieşti.
The cannon consisted of 680 parts (Zis-3 consisted of 610 parts, PaK 40 consisted of about 1200 parts). The muzzle velocity and power of the new gun was higher than that of the German competitor, but this advantage resulted in a lower barrel life (about 500 shots, compared to 6000 shots of the PaK 40). The factory designation of the gun was D.T.-U.D.R. No.26 (Army designation Resita cal.75 TA Md.1943).
Data on the number of cannons produced varies. It is stated that 216 were produced by the end of 1944. Thereafter, production was halted on Soviet instructions and was not started again. According to other, more recent sources, about 342 pieces were produced by the end of 1944 (this is probably a more correct figure). The cannon lasted in the Romanian army until the 1990s. As it did not have a unified Soviet calibre, it was only used for training. The first cannons were delivered to Romanian troops in the spring of 1944.
In its time, it was one of the best field or anti-tank guns in its category.
