| Description |
English: Soviet, Cold-War era, Self-propelled Anti-Aircraft gun.
Built by Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant (MMZ) and in production from 1964 to 1982 with some 6,500 built. ‘ZSU’ stands for Zenitnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (Russian: Зенитная Самоходная Установка), which translates as "anti-aircraft self-propelled system". The ‘23’ is the bore diameter in millimetres and the ‘4’ is the number of gun barrels. It was named after the Shilka River in Russia, although known by Afghan soldiers as the ‘Sewing Machine’ due to the sound of the guns when firing and also known as ‘Zeus’, derived from ‘ZSU’. This example was presumably captured from the Iraqi Army during the first Gulf War. Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington, North Yorkshire, UK. 1st September 2020 |
