During the Cold War, the Soviet Army was perhaps the deadliest
fighting force the world had ever seen. Within its mechanized
forces, the Soviets accomplished something that their American
counterparts never could - the fielding of a self-propelled
anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) that could keep pace with its heavy
armored formations. This volume examines the design, development
and operational history of the Soviet Union's Cold War SPAAGs: the
ZSU-37, ZSU-57-2, the infamous ZSU-23-4, and the 9K22 Tunguska
(better known by its NATO reporting name: SA-19 'Grison'). These
vehicles excelled in their air defense role, and many US Department
of Defense publications were dedicated to examining how to defeat
the ZSU and its radar tracking system. These formidable weapons
equipped Russian forces in Afghanistan and were encountered again
in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, cementing
their place in the landscape of modern warfare. This study explores
the full history of the SPAAGs with revealing photographs,
technical illustrations and detailed analysis.
