"Not only destroy air targets": how the Armed Forces fighters use the "Ship" (photo)

However, often from the "pelvis" they fire for terrestrial purposes: light armored equipment, infantry and more. As the commander of the Filin Anti -Library Division says, once they destroyed 10 invaders for the battle. The authors point out that despite the similarity with ZU-23-2 is much more efficient. "Schilka" has a liquid cooling of four barrels, each of them can shoot separately, and in less than 4 minutes the installation can shoot about 2000 rounds.

"Due to the creation of a high density of fire" Schilka "is considered a powerful installation. It can easily destroy light -armed terrestrial goals. There are also cases when my wards hit the tank. Then she calmly removed his protection from the armored officer, and then the armor -piercing shells made their business" , - continues Filin. The fighters with the help of track ammunition are given for land purposes. The first shot is sight, and then everyone goes for goals.

Also, "Schilka" has a night sight, which allows it to be used at any time of the day. Thanks to the radar station, the anti -aircraft installation can be brought to the air targets on its own. The operator should only be fired. One day, "Schilka" withstood the PTKR on the installation, says Dmitry's fighter. "Recently, we left for a firing position near one of the settlements in Donetsk region. We worked on their positions in landing.

Then a lot of them put them, because p*the skees were not yet well fixed in this position. However, in a few minutes he felt a strong blow in the tower As it turned out, we flew in PTKR. We were very lucky that the rocket went on tangent and did not go inside the tower. He withstood the first layer of armor. Also, the car did not miss, and we were able to quickly leave the shelling sector and move to the location of our brothers, "Dmitry recalls .
