Title: ZSU-57-2 (based on T54 tank)
Post by: emmanuel on January 28, 2021, 04:47:04 am

The ZSU-57-2 (Ob'yekt 500) is a Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG), armed with two 57 mm autocannons.

The ZSU-57-2 officially entered service in the Soviet Army on 14 February 1955. Soviet engineers designed a vehicle that used a modified T-54 chassis, with four twin road wheels per side instead of five, and much thinner armour. The vehicle was armed with twin 57 mm S-68 autocannon in a new, large, rotating, open-topped turret.

I'd like this.  It was also used in Vietnam.
