Besides Taiwan's large howitzers, which countries still maintain substantial shore batteries?
Short answerNorway and Finland are highlighted, with the caution that the operational condition of some guarded coastal batteries is not publicly clear.
NotesCoastal guns are not necessarily obsolete simply because they are less visible than mobile missiles or warships. Some sites remain guarded and their readiness is difficult for outsiders to assess. That mixture of persistence and uncertainty helps explain why large shore artillery still draws attention.
