THREAT: HIGH
Originator's Designation: ZSU-23-4 Shilka
Tracking: OB Gun Dish Radar (J)/ Zeus
The ZSU-23-4 is a Self-Propelled AntiAircraft Gun. Using its integrated radar, it is capable of acquiring, tracking and engaging low-flying aircraft (as well as mobile ground targets while either in place or on the move). The armament consists of four 23mm cannon with a range of 2nm and a maximum engagement altitude of 7,000ft. Two ZSU-23-4s and two ZSU-57-2 are assigned to protect Tank Battalions and three of each are assigned to HQ Battalions. The high rate of fire and high accuracy provide by the radar controlled ZSU-23-4 make this weapon extremely lethal and it should be avoided at all costs by staying out of range. The HARM can be used to target the radar on the ZSU23-4.
The ZU-23-2 can be towed by a number of different vehicles. In USSR and later Russia the most frequently used towing vehicles for it were GAZ-66 4x4 trucks and GAZ-69 4x4 light trucks.

Description
The ZU-23-2 mounts two 23 mm autocannons on a small trailer which can be converted into a stationary mount for firing the guns. While in this position the wheels are moved aside. The autocannon can be prepared for firing from the march position in 30 seconds and in emergency can be fired from the traveling position. The weapon is aimed and fired manually, with the help of the ZAP-23 optical-mechanical sight which uses manually entered target data to provide limited automatic aiming. It also has a straight-tube telescope T-3 for use against ground targets such as infantry as well as unarmored or lightly armoured vehicles. The ammo is fed by a conveyor belt from two ammunition boxes. Each of the ammunition boxes is located on the side of the twin autocannon and each carries 50 rounds. The fumes created by firing the weapon are partially removed through the side openings in the barrels.The ZSU-23-4 is a Self-Propelled AntiAircraft Gun.
