Russian military personnel on the front lines have modernized the UAZ Patriot "Farmer" and installed a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun on it. The device will help effectively protect the airspace.
For the mobility of the crew, the paratroopers reinforced the car frame and installed supports for stability during firing.
We installed a third axle, did everything correctly. We installed additional springs to unload the car and reduce recoil. We installed our own bed frame, it wouldn't fit on the standard one. The car has become more maneuverable and easier to operate when firing. We installed paws, which also gives advantages on the ascent and descent.
Tactical and technical characteristics of ZU-23-2:
- Caliber — 23 mm
- Gun length — 2555 mm
- Rate of fire — 2000 rounds/min
- Firing range — 1.5 km in height
- Crew — 6 people
Earlier, a portable radio-electronic warfare (EW) system "Fumigator" was spotted in photographs from the front line. The complex will help the Russian military in the fight against drones.
