ZU-23-2Towed twin 23 mm anti-aircraft autocannonBuilt by: KBP Instrument Design Bureau and multiple state/license producersThe ZU-23-2 is a Soviet twin 23 mm towed anti-aircraft autocannon built around two 2A14 guns on a light carriage. Its manual sighting, rapid emplacement, and high volume of fire make it a close-range air-defense weapon against low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and drones, while many operators also use it for direct fire against light vehicles and infantry positions. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukrainian units have kept the system relevant in mobile and positional air-defense teams.Built in archive
