Shilka on Display

Last month (April 2016) I saw this 2A6 Shilka on display where I also saw this Buk 9A310.


The Shilka is a self-propelled, radar guided anti-aircraft weapon system (SPAAG) shooting down aircraft with quad AA rapid fire guns. Also used against infantry, land vehicles and even armored machinery.


I think it's the first time I saw one up this close.






Fun (?) fact: ZSU barrels are also used to make the largest-bore shotgun in the world - the KS-23.
