The gun was successfully employed in the late stages of World War II,and remained in service into the 1950s, being replaced in Soviet service by the T-12 antitank gun and the 85 mm antitank gun D-48 in 1955.

The BS-3 was also sold to a number of other countries and in some of these countries the gun is still in service.-
