Nice Video of ZSU-3-4 Shilka


Recommended Posts

Admittedly this is the follow-on to the Shilka, but still, the Russian ADA guys are allowed burst mode:

I thought that Polish team looked a little silly with that dude waving the flags, all that drama just because they're sending some 23mm down range for practice.

That was the coolest beast I've ever seen, except from a Volvo of course.

Been toying around with the Shilka in the editor. Found this video on youtube. Nice look at the Shilka. Thought I'd share it.

There is a lot of firepower there. I'd hate to be on the business end of that.;)

Anyone know why some of the ricochets (like around the 35 second mark) jump up in the air at such a sharp angle? It may be that they are hitting the side of a hill or something but it looks like at least some rounds are hitting flat ground at a shallow angle and then bouncing way up in the air. I would have expected them to skip along the ground more, ricocheting at around the same angle as they hit.

Or maybe the rounds are fragmenting on impact and I am seeing the times when the tracer fragment went up?

I was wondering this as well, so like most heavily populated Youtube comments, you can find someone who asked a question before you if you have the endurance to read enough....
