Soviet "Shilka" continue to hunt in Syria

During the fighting in the area of ​​Mayadin, the Syrian army actively applies Shilka ZSU-23-4. They are used as fire support vehicles for the upcoming ground units, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

Self-propelled anti-aircraft installations are used in the SAR almost from the very beginning of the conflict. They are well established in the defense and in the offensive, reliably defended military columns on the march.

These machines weighing a ton of 21 are armed with four 23-mm cannons with a maximum range of 2000 m. The rate of fire is up to 1000 rounds per minute per barrel. Ammunition - 2000 shells.

Installation easily destroys jeeps with weapons, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and enemy forces. The crew of the car - 4 person, the speed of movement - 50 km / h.

Part of the combat vehicles in Syria received protection in the form of anti-cumulative screens or steel plates arranged as a corner.

At present, in the Mayadin area, the usual ZZU-23-4 is still deadly hunting for militants. However, military experts do not rule out the appearance of more secure cars there.

[Gronsky]

However, the video does not convey the full power of fire.
Fifteen meters from the car, during the queue, my legs gave way and an involuntary but very persistent urge to sit down was observed, excuse me for intimate details.
Impressions for life.)))

Shilka seems like a useless weapon against a strong western adversary

[Vadim Kurbatov]

the infantry will crumble

[Krabik]

Old Soviet equipment after the military remained in huge numbers.

It’s necessary to use it somehow.
And so there are new systems Shell and Tor with modern machine guns.

“shaitan-arba” is back in business, and the trouble is to those who seem to have it in their sight, in the zone of defeat, on the earth, in the air.

friends who fought in Afghanistan said that the "spirits" were terribly afraid of them

[finmax]

and not only in Afghanistan, wherever they fought, they were afraid, a disguised Shilka in a defensive position, it's just a scribe what argument, shaking out of his pants, to run away with smoke from under his heels

And if you make it bilateral, then you can stupidly rotate the tower with the surroundings and "victory will be ours."

Crate with balls on chains is a challenge for modelers)))
I broke through the lack of inspiration and almost completed the 4 mercavu. But the chains went wrong.

Hi Andrey. Photo-etched look, sold by Aliexpress.

Collect armored vehicles in 72m? This is an amateur, although I may be mistaken.

Nothing to cover here! At the very whale lies B-17 in 32 m. I'm afraid to even start!

MONSTER! Wellington, on a 72nd scale, gathered so the other dwarfs nearby, even the Xe-111 is too small

Duc, there are many of us. At least 72nd is a compact budget. Now it has already exceeded 200 copies, so half a wall in the corridor is covered (despite the fact that in some boxes there are two or three models). And this is with a strict restriction: only tracked vehicles or semi-geese. And it’s scary to imagine the same park in the 35th, both in terms of area and money.

[serg.shishkov2015]

I got the T-34-76 at 72, I got the buzz from the assembly, it stands next to the MiG-31 and looks next to it crumbs

[Kars]

For me, now the price is horse. I'm trying to find a chain in jewelry. The balls are left.

Well, the same thought! Harassment and dopa, sometimes more expensive than the model!

[Misak Hananyan]

Good car

[san4es]

Installation easily destroys jeeps with weapons, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and enemy manpower

[Doliva63]

Good movie, but the American said nothing that she already has 3 shooting modes.
I somehow fell into the line (on the ground), it was something!

[alone]

Shilka is also good in urban battles. As an infantry support vehicle. Its main advantage is that the guns can be raised up 85 degrees.

[ROM1077]

it’s a pity it is outdated on air targets but on ground there is still very nothing ....

[Vadim Kurbatov]

from an ambush, identity can also be gained by turntables on cargo planes

[serg.shishkov2015]

it is being upgraded, 4 missiles, a new sighting system, yesterday I saw a fresh photo from ARMY2017

[iouris]

An excellent unit, but only the rate of fire when working "on the ground" is greatly excessive.

[faiver]

Well, in terms of the destruction of a suicide bomber with a suicide bomber, I think it’s just not redundant, but just right

[Dart2027]

On the issue of the need for BMPT - this is essentially a modernized Shilka.
That is, Shilki, although they were created as air defense vehicles, but became famous as a powerful means of fighting infantry, now a machine has been created that was originally sharpened as a means of combating enemy infantry
