  Shilka
The most successful type of these weapon systems is Russia’s famous Shilka self-propelled AD gun mount developed in the early 1960s and designed to fight primarily tactical aircraft and helicopters.
According to experts, the modernization potentialities of such systems as the Shilka and Tunguska have not yet been exhausted and optimal updating can considerably extend their service life, while their combat effectiveness canl satisfy the present-day requirements.
Modified system for measurement of tilt, gradient and course angles to allow an appreciable reduction in the perturbing action on gyros which occurs during movement of the SP mount, reduce errors in measurement of tilt and course angles of the SP mount, enhance the automatic gun fire control loop stability and, consequently, the kill probability.

  ZSU-23-4 Shilka - Definition, explanation
With its high rate of accurate fire, the Shilka can even neutralize tanks by destroying their gun sights, radio antennas, etc. The crew numbers four: driver, commander, and two radar personnel: gunner and ranger.
Shilka units are typically placed near the forward-edge of battle-area (FEBA) but behind the main force.
One of the unpopular features of the Shilka is that should the water-coolant fail to quickly cool the system down, when the gunner lets go of the fire button, the cannons will continue to cook off ammunition.

Shilka units are typically placed near the forward-edge of battle-area (FEBA) but behind the main force.
One of the unpopular features of the Shilka is that should the water-coolant fail to quickly cool the system down, when the gunner lets go of the fire button, the cannons will continue to cook off ammunition.
To prevent overheating, the rate of fire is reduced to 50 round bursts per gun, and thus limits the Shilka's rate of fire to 200 rounds per minute.

Shilka has played a major part in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, being the main reason for the loss of 100 hundred Israeli planes over the sky of Syria in the first three days of fighting.
Shilka is principally armed by four 23 mm automatic belt-fed guns, that have been principally designed to engage flying targets (up to 1500 m effective distance), but it also proved effective against land-based targets (up to 2500 m effective distance).
The Shilka is equipped with infra-red visor and a sophisticated computer aiming system, designed to pursue fast-moving targets.
