1. This is really difficult, but the intervals between shots helped a lot with accuracy

2. Maybe 15 years ago, Finland made decision to get rid of Zu-23-2, because it was considered obsolete and would have no relevance on battle field. Luckily that decision was cancelled, before stock went to scrap.

3. I’m surprised as well we haven’t seen a whole lot from the ZSU-23-4 Shilka in the war, some instances, but I thought Ukraine had a stockpile of these, that would be handy against drones.

   Especially with some upgrades?
