В советские зенитки С-60 вдохнули вторую жизнь: оружие не теряет актуальности даже спустя 75 лет

The 1950s artillery system has been equipped with a target guidance system and modern radar

In Vietnam, the S-60 anti-aircraft artillery guns with 57-mm automatic cannons have been seriously modernized. The 1950s-era systems have been equipped with modern target detection, digital data transmission, and guidance systems, resulting in a mobile short-range air defense system.

For this purpose, the anti-aircraft guns were equipped with electromechanical drives and sensors, as well as a two-way data transmission system.

The modernized S-60s can be remotely controlled from a command post based on a modern KamAZ with a 4x4 wheel configuration, which is equipped with a modern radar station.

A semi-remote control option is also possible, where each gun has a crew of soldiers, and the guidance data is transmitted to them in digital format from the command post. The main task of the S-60 is to engage air and ground targets at ranges up to 6 km and altitudes of 5 km using different types of projectiles. The complex has a crew of up to 8 people.

The automatic system provides a technical rate of fire of up to 120 rounds/min. The practical rate does not exceed 70-75 rounds/min.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the frigate "Admiral Golovko," carrier of hypersonic "Zircon" missiles, has completed a long voyage.
