Day of Missile Forces and Artillery (Шаблон:Lang-ru) is a holiday celebrated in Russia and Belarus[1] on 19 November.
History
The holiday was first established by a Presidium of Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union decree on 21 October 1944 as Artillery day of Red Army (Шаблон:Lang-ru).[2] The date was chosen because the Red Army began their successful counter-attack (Operation Uranus) in the battle of Stalingrad on 19 November 1942, with much help from the artillery of the Red Army.
Since 1964, the holiday bears its present name.[3]
In modern Russia, the holiday has the status of memorable day.[4]
