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