hey bro, just a heads up, the shilka is a zsu 23-4, the 23mm rapid fire, 4 barrels. you probably are thinking of the zsu 57-2 (dont know the call sign for it). its easy to confuse these russian spaa, theres also a 37-2, not the same 37mm that the 57mm was to replace, a whole new gun system for rapid fire. i can understand the use of a high calibre reasonable high rate of fire weapon for dealing with slower planes/helis. but trying to track a CAS coming in close to mach with a hand cranked gun platform must be near impossible, unless theres a large cluster of guns to just fill the sky.

MAN....the footage!!!

There was a twin S-60 called the ZSU 57-2, but the quad you mention was a 4x23mm setup

One of my favorites.

Actually, Shilka (ZSU-23/4) has 4 23mm guns, not these... These things (AAA in general) have been used against ground targets with devastating effects since WW2. They were used a lot during Yugoslav wars... For example, Praga was beloved, but reload was difficult and the crew was exposed at that time and it really doesn't have too much ammo in magazine. I myself served in anti-aircraft unit (though I was a radar operator) consisted of Giraffe radar and Bofors guns. Some of officers, NCOs and contract soldiers from my unit participated in Kosovo war. There, Bofors was called "sniper killer". Once an enemy sniper was located, especially in rural areas and villages there, they would set up a Bofors and simply start shooting at his location. Bofors can hit accurately at 4.000m, way outside of range of sniper rifles. If he is hiding inside a house, in a matter of seconds that house would be turned into rubbles along with the sniper inside it... Also, one NCO told us about triple barrel 20mm guns (M55) used against human waves that the KLA launched against Yugoslav positions. He claimed that he literally saw those KLA guys being cut in two... Which is very likely... Overall, these things are not too complex, easy to use, relatively cheap and can do a lot of damage. What's not to like?

We smoked a lot of 57mms post-Desert Storm while enforcing the no-fly zone. They would, on occasion, pop off rounds at the patrolling aircraft. The jet would then turn around, roll in and smoke them. They are really only marginally effective against low flying aircraft. Anything else was just a noisy version of inviting unwanted attention.

it turned out that this weapon is just as effective for destroying concrete structures and buildings in enemy positions! and after they began to be used by the militia of Donbass, Russia, having entered into an anti-terrorist operation, began to use them. I myself saw several echelons with reactivated S-60 installations that were being transported to the point of contact. and earlier they had already been sentenced to be melted down. the projectile of this gun grinds the enemy's trenches even if there are concrete structures there, and turns everything into dust, allowing the infantry to approach.

Since we went from a "only high value hard to hit targets in the sky" to a situation where we have - in addition to that - a lot of "low value easy to hit targets" such systems may have a comeback in modern warfare...

The original 8.8cm caliber was chosen by the German Navy as secondary armament because the weight of the round was the maximum that could be handled by hand alone as a single pierce. This also made it suitable for FLAK. This was pushed to higher calibers in some countries but always came at the cost of reduced rate of fire or rapid crew fatigue that reduced ROF (eg the British 4.7 inch Naval Gun) . Auto loaders and integrated fuse setting machine integrated into the loader helped the caliber to be extended to 10.5cm and even 12.8cm. The American 5 inch DP Naval Gun handled round and cartridge separately but still achieved 25RPM.

Система была основана на пушки ЗиС -2 1940 года , несмотря на 57мм её снаряд пробивал броню Пантеры и даже Тигра танков 2 мировой войны. Из за большого количества снарядов и оборудования для производства этого колибра эта пушка устанавливается даже на современную технику боевой модуль Байкал . Полностью автоматической стрельбой и управлением .

AAA is making a big comeback on the battlefields of today. Sure in the last 30 years these guns have been used mostly as direct fire support weapons, as they lacked modern tracking systems. These upgraded versions with radar/IR fire control, and new systems such as Sky Ranger, using new ammo with programmable airburst fuse is a good (and maybe only effective) defence against the scurge that are swarms of killer drones.

I wonder how effective it would be, with radar, as point defense against cruise missiles. The shells may include proximity fuses, which seem like they would be effective in that role.

You had me a Kalashnikov...

But they got reality checked rather quickly and switched over the 76mm The ZiS-2 and its cousin the Ch-51 were both withdrawn from anti-tank duty and the Soviets began the process of repurposing these suddenly useless guns. By switching from 57x480mm to 57x347mm they managed to find some use for the caliber and its related development.

The _57x348mmSR_ is an older cartridge but which has now been adopted for multiple Russian AFVs such as the BMP-3 and the planned Kurganets-25, T-15 Armata and VPK-7829 Bumerang vehicles. This is the round that Russia sees as being one of the important ones of the future battlefield. In contrast, the round that the US has seemingly gone for is the *_50x228mm_* (used in the XM913 chain gun) which is considerably smaller. It may suffice but if it doesn't then the proper Western equivalent would be the Bofors *_57x438mmR._* Its cartridge case is longer but slimmer whereas the Russian case is shorter but wider, so overall they're pretty similar. Personally, I think Russia's over-emphasis on _57x348mm_ is problematic. They're currently not using any rounds between _30x165mm_ or _30x210mmB_ and 57mm, but one they did use prior to the late-20th-century was the *_37x252mmSR._* It's still used in many countries, including China, and Russia needs to bring it back.

The ZSU-23-4 uses four *23* mm guns, the same as the ZU-23-2! The S-60 was the basis of the ZSU-57-2, which was the predecessor of the Shilka, and lacked radar for fire control making it fairly ineffective as an AAA system. For that reason the ZSU-23-4 was developed to replace it.

Bradleys take out these 72's with their TOW missiles

Why odd ammo types?

Tracer ammunition works in both directions

I think that gun AA will be a thing in next years due to expanding weight of drones above battlefields. Rocket is too expensive to kill drone

Shilka never used 57mm guns

Congrats on 400k from midwest USA, great content for years, should have hit it a long time ago. YTs new communist guidelines seem to punish their bread and butter channels, they keep it up more and more will move to Rumble...keep pushing 👍

If the German 88mm anti aircraft weapon could be auto loaded. It would be used too. It was used for plane and tanks.
