On the Lebanese-Syrian border, a “hellish thresher” is spotted

In the video report RT Arabic from the Lebanese-Syrian border area, an 57-mm anti-aircraft self-propelled unit ZSU-57-2 was noticed, nicknamed "hell thresher", writes Messenger of Mordovia.

The combat vehicle belongs to the forces fighting against the IG grouping (banned in the Russian Federation).

This artillery mount on a medium chassis tank T-54 has proven itself in work on ground targets. “Therefore, it is not surprising that she was attracted as a deterrent at the time of the evacuation of the militants. It is unlikely that any of them at the sight of such a formidable car had thoughts about any provocations, ”the author of the material Roman Katkov notes.

Despite the venerable age (the year of adoption - 1950), the self-propelled gun is still in service and, apparently, in excellent shape.

Weight ZSU-57-2 - 28 tons, armed with two 57-mm automatic guns C-68, the rate of which reaches 120 rounds per minute (per barrel). Able to hit ground targets at a distance of 4 km, the calculation - 6 people.

The engine power of the installation is 520 hp, the maximum speed on the highway is 50 km / h, the power reserve is 400 km.

a good thing, once again we are convinced of the genius of Soviet designers, and now we mostly use their heritage

You know here you can continue the thought. In the direction that Soviet designers very well absorbed and used the "captured German heritage" ...

American Lend-Lease too

this, too, must be able to, colleagues, over there, the Chinese mostly (!) have rough copies of crafts, while ours, taking the basis, have surpassed
well, and, as it may seem from your words, our military production began after the Second World War, which is far from the case

[iConst]

Yes!
You might think that Russian / Soviet design thought has always been "second number".
In 34-ke was running from Christie and nothing more. In the no less legendary KV-1 is already "homegrown" torsion bar.
The Germans from 34 matches licked the body of their "Panther".
Always and everywhere there was a borrowing of other people's engineering solutions. If you delve into, then many products turned out to be initially of a different "origin". They simply did not make out / were not interested / the inventor did not finalize.

As if the wheel was also invented by Soviet engineers! Burn napalm yet!

[kimvladimiril]

Not English and not American - that's for sure ....

[alexxxxz]

Yes, to listen to them, and the T-34-85 was obtained by land-lease! ..))) And the KV-1 was completely stolen from the Germans! Tunnels of the Leningrad Metro were dragged directly from Berlin!

[kimvladimiril]

Moreover, the Germans did not even come up with antidotes, they had to use anti-aircraft guns.

[Anton Valerevich]

Likewise, fellow sublates love to blame Russia and Russians for Lend-Lease, while saying nothing about Lend-Lease was only a bargain, and not free aid to allies waging a bloody war with a common enemy.

[SergF123]

They should be listened to by the liberals, since Popov did not invent the radio, and found no bacteria Pirogov!

Yeah. Are you talking about the Tu-4 (more precisely, the B-29)? So this is not his initiative, but a direct indication from above.

We found something to compare, it’s two different weapons, just some people think that if a wolf has teeth and a tail, and a dog has teeth and a tail, therefore a wolf is a dog, well, or a dog is a wolf, you still need to take a closer look

[raw174]

Quote: ProkletyiPirat

hence the wolf is a dog

Bad example! Canis lupus is both a wolf and a dog, essentially one animal, just a dog domesticated, in connection with which some physiological changes occurred ...

[Maz]

Yeah, 57mm is cool. It’s a pity there are two guns, you would have to remove one, but instead take more ammunition. Soon they will put this on the BMP. Thing will be.

[max702]

According to the mind, it is necessary to remove all ZSU-57 from storage, throw out the entire air defense cradle, change the LMS, strengthen the armor on the tower and forward to the block posts, escort the columns, use it as fire support, but a lot where .. In fact, here’s BMPT for you .. Cheap and cheerful ..

Israeli kill in other regions!

According to publication “Europe et Afrique, cibles des industries israeliennes de defense” in the French bulletin “Intelligence online”Michel Ben-Baruch, head of the Israeli arms export agency Sibat, announced on March 29, 2017 that Israeli arms exports grew by 2016% in 12 and reached $ 6,5 billion (in terms of the volume of contracts concluded).
The defense industry of Israel owes its good form last year to two main areas. On the one hand, Israeli companies were very active in Africa, especially in Nigeria. On the other hand, a wave of terrorist attacks in Europe by Islamists, primarily “sleeping loners”, made exporting technologies against such threats developed by Israeli companies in recent years very attractive.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense recently announced that it has issued export licenses for arms supplies to 160 countries, including 10 states in the Arab world..

The main thing is that it does not have much that is unnecessary and breaking, that makes it almost useless as a means of air defense, but very much in demand as a ground installation

in Yemen, T-34-85 is still used

Well, how many shells does she carry with her? Well, to shoot properly?

Yes, probably ZSU57x2 has already served its purpose and there is simply no point in upgrading them; you need to do something new.
Although in Iran such hybrids are made from ZSU57x2 towers and KRAZ

[rotmistr60]

Bandyuganov on civil buses under the guise of technology, fine. Interestingly, but the lifting ones were also issued for adaptation in a new place?

The expectation is that some of the broads will become a peaceful, and the rest will eventually bite each other in conditions of crowding in a limited space. Well, the territories are freed.

[novel66]

yes, somehow wrong - even if we deprive them there they infected or what?

[andrewkor]

In general, 120 rounds per minute per barrel is a technical rate of fire, practically no more than 50 with manual charge loading, 4 rounds in a clip.

[lukewarm]

In general, a beautiful gun and an excellent caliber 57mm, judging by the reviews of experts. No wonder the new combat modules are already being designed for this caliber. And again, I refer to experts, in this caliber it is possible to make tricky shells with a programmable detonation.

[Master_chef]

And the fact that this is not an ART installation, but an anti-aircraft gun - No one said

[W1975]

And what now is similar to this installation? Nothing? Do not think?

[Guest171-Again]

ZU-57-2, it’s more correct. Like all anti-aircraft guns, it perfectly copes with ground targets. And about the "copied", well, of course, yes. All of World War II, there was a struggle between Jews and Hitler, thank God, the Yankees saved everyone, thanks to them they are alive and progressing What can you do, the brains have flowed away, everything is in Israel, here we are copying, from the best ones, they cannot beat off with bubbles (empty), if sho.

Tupolev himself wanted to develop a new car from scratch, but the Supreme ordered to copy a successful solution and only then bring it up. The decision was correct. As with German missiles and Korolev.
