Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun (SPAAG)


The Flakpanzer (shortened form of the German Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer or "anti-aircraft cannon tank") Gepard (English: Cheetah) is an autonomous, all-weather-capable German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG). It was developed in the 1960s and fielded in the 1970s, and has been upgraded several times with the latest electronics. It constitutes a cornerstone of the air defence of the German Army (Deutsches Heer) and a number of other NATO-states.

M42 Duster 40mm Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun


The M42 40 mm Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun, or "Duster" as it is known, is an armored light air-defense gun built for the US Army from 1952 until December 1959. Production of this vehicle was performed by the tank division of the General Motors Corporation. It used components from the M41 light tank and was constructed of all welded steel. The 500 hp, six cylinder, air-cooled, gasoline engine is located in the rear of the vehicle. A total of 3700 M42s were built. The vehicle has a crew of six and weighs 22500 kg (49500 lb) fully loaded. Maximum speed is 45 mph with a range of 100 miles. Armament consists of fully automatic twin 40 mm M2A1 Bofors, with a rate of fire of 240 rounds per minute (rpm) and either a .30 cal. Browning M1919A4 or M-60 Machine Gun. Although the M42 Duster was initially designed in the anti-aircraft role, it found great success when used in the Vietnam War against unarmored ground forces.

Wirbelwind


The Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind" (Whirlwind in German) was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the Panzer IV tank. It was developed in 1944 as a successor to the earlier self-propelled anti-aircraft gun Möbelwagen. In the first years of the war, the Wehrmacht had less interest in developing self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, but as the allies developed air superiority, the need for more mobile and better-armed self-propelled anti-aircraft guns increased. The Panzer IV's turret was removed and replaced with an open-top, nine-sided turret which housed a quadruple 2 cm Flakvierling 38 L/112.5. A closed-top design would have been preferable, but this was not possible due to the heavy smoke generated by the four anti-aircraft guns. Production of the tank was carried out by Ostbau Werke in Sagan, Silesia. As the 2 cm shells used proved less effective against aircraft than the 3.7 cm shells the Wirbelwind was eventually replaced by the Ostwind which was equipped with a single 3.7 cm FlaK 43. [1] The armor and rapid fire from the four guns of the Wirbelwind was also very effective against infantry. It is believed that either 87 or 105 Wirbelwinds were produced during the war, but due to discrepancies between the recorded production numbers at Ostbau Werke and Wehrmacht service records, the exact number will probably never be known.

ZSU-57-2 SPAAG


The ZSU-57-2 (Ob'yekt 500) is a Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft gun armed with two 57 mm autocannons. ZSU stands for Zenitnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (Russian: Зенитная Самоходная Установка), meaning "anti-aircraft self-propelled mount", 57 stands for the bore of the armament and 2 stands for the number of gun barrels. It was the first Soviet mass produced tracked SPAAG. In the USSR it had the unofficial nickname "Sparka", meaning "pair", referring to the twin autocannon with which the vehicle is armed. Basing on past experiences with SPAAG designs, Soviet engineers designed a vehicle that used a modified T-54 chassis, with four twin road wheels per side instead of five, and with much thinner armour. The vehicle was armed with the 57 mm S-68 twin AA autocannon in a new large rotatory open-topped turret. The ZSU-57-2 consists of three compartments: driver's in the front, fighting in the middle and engine-transmission in the rear. The hull of the ZSU-57-2 is more spacious in comparison with the T-54 medium tank because of the thinner armour and has different location of some equipment also. The general layout with transverse mounting of engine is the same.

Sturmartillarie: WW2 German Self Propelled Guns 1/5


The Germans conceived the idea of self propelled artillery very early in the war. Part of the reason was to allow Artillery pieces to keep up with the tanks and armoured personel carriers in the Blitzkrieg. Another was to utilise the tank chassis which were no longer useful as main battle tanks. German made self propelled guns of all types, from anti-personel, anti-tank to anti-aircraft guns.

The M247 Segeant York DIVAD Debacle is perhaps the most famous (infamous?) peacetime catastrophe in the history of the US Army. It seemed so simple in the beginning; just build a Self-Propelled Anti Aircraft Gun out of a bunch of off-the-shelf components. Easy enough, right? WRONG! We're talking about the leadership of the US Army here, a bunch of bean-counting brasshats who work out of the world's largest, most crowded, most corrupt (and most dilapidated) office building in the world --- they couldn't find their @$$es with a flashlight, let alone ensure a weapon ACTUALLY WORKS before they spend YOUR money to buy it! It was all just another day at the Pentagon. In this documentary, you'll see what the Army tried to pull on you, and remember; corrupt, ineffectual, and worthless leaders ALWAYS equip their people with corrupt, ineffectual, and worthless equipment --- that's how the stuff comes into EXISTENCE in the first place!

M163 SP Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS)


The M163 Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS) is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) that was used by the United States Army. The M168 gun is a variant of the General Dynamics 20 mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon—the standard cannon in most US combat aircraft since the 1960s. The weapon is either mounted on a modified M113 vehicle (the M741 carrier) or on a towed trailer, which is designated the M167. The systems were designed to complement the M48 Chaparral missile system. The M163s uses a small, range-only radar, the AN/VPS-2, and an M61 optical lead-calculating sight. The gun fires at 3000 rounds per minute in short bursts of 10, 30, 60, or 100 rounds, or it can fire in continuous fire mode at a rate of 1000 rounds per minute. In the M163 a linkless feed system is used, in the M167 (towed) linked ammunition is used. The system is suitable for night operations with the use of AN/PVS series night vision sights that mount above the sight reticle. VADS was slated to be replaced by the M247 Sergeant York DIVADS (Divisional Air Defense System), but that system was cancelled due to cost overruns and technical problems.

IV), commonly known as the Panzer IV, was a medium tank developed in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 161. Designed as an infantry-support tank, the Panzer IV was not originally intended to engage enemy armor—that function was performed by the lighter Panzer III. However, with the flaws of pre-war doctrine becoming apparent and in the face of Soviet T-34 tanks, the Panzer IV soon assumed the tank-fighting role of its increasingly obsolescent cousin. The most widely manufactured and deployed German tank of the Second World War, the Panzer IV was used as the base for many other fighting vehicles, including tank destroyers and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Robust and reliable, it saw service in all combat theaters involving Germany, and has the distinction of being the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout the war, with over 8800 produced between 1936 and 1945. Upgrades and design modifications, often made in response to the appearance of new Allied tanks, extended its service life. Generally these involved increasing the Panzer IV's armor protection or upgrading its weapons, although during the last months of the war with Germany's pressing need for rapid replacement of losses, design changes also included retrograde measures to simplify and speed <b>...</b>

ADAMS CLASS DESTROYERS Armament: 2x Mark 42 5/54in (127mm)-GREEK NAVY


The Otobreda 76 mm gun is a naval artillery piece built by the Italian defence conglomerate of Otobreda, developed originally from the Oto Melara 76/62mm Allargato, which was bigger, heavier and had a slower rate of fire. A vehicle-mounted version known as the Otomatic was built for the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun role, although this was not put into production. The gun is capable of very high rates of fire, making it suitable for short-range anti-missile point defence. Its calibre also gives it abilities for anti-aircraft, anti-surface and ground shelling. Specialised ammunition is available for armour piercing, incendiary and directed fragmentation. A new stealth cupola has been designed in recent years. The system is compact enough to be installed on relatively small warships, like corvettes, avisos (a vessel somewhere between a corvette and a patrol boat), or patrol boats. It has been widely exported and is in use with 53 navies. It has recently been favoured over the French 100 mm naval gun for the new Horizon CNGF frigates. On 27 September 2006 Iran announced it has started mass production of a marine artillery gun, named the Fajr-27, which is a reverse-engineered Oto Melara 76 mm gun.[1]
