Peruvian Army, SHILKA Armored Unit - ZSU-23-4
The Shilka is an antiaircraft artillery system developed by the former Soviet Union, mounted on an armored chassis of caterpillars based on the light tank PT-76 and which entered service in 1965. It was designed for close defense when enemy aircraft had surpassed anti-aircraft missiles, its objectives are low-flying aircraft and helicopters, the Shilka can operate both day and night under any weather conditions.
Its armament consists of 4 guns of 23 mm (that's why the 23-4) mounted on a rotating turret, its effective range is 2,500 meters directly in vertical and its maximum horizontal reach is 7,000 meters. It is loaded with 2 thousand tracer and incendiary projectiles for immediate use. The way to shoot is one cannon at a time, so ammunition is not wasted and the cannons do not overheat.
The Shilka works with a RPK-2 radar that NATO calls "Gun Dish" of continuous waves in J band that detects and hooks targets 20 km away. To detect targets that are flying less than 50 meters high (which is when anti-aircraft radars are not as effective) use an infrared camera system operated manually.
