Russian soldiers are using some models of Soviet military equipment in combat. It turns out that equipment that has long been decommissioned, with some modifications, could be useful, writes the publication "Military Review."
Why haven't Soviet anti-aircraft guns been restored yet? You can use the ZSU-57-2 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. The exact number of these vehicles in Russian warehouses is unknown, but from 1955 to 1960, at least 857 anti-aircraft tanks were produced in Omsk.
According to media reports, the ZSU-57-2 has many disadvantages, including the T-54 tank chassis with limited engine life and weak crew protection.
But the "Hell Mill," as it was nicknamed in the troops, is not intended for assault operations.
In addition to the ZSU-57-2, the ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" could be unsealed. It was actively used during the conflict in Afghanistan. The anti-aircraft gun could effectively combat enemy UAVs.
