Untitled[edit]

Would it help to comment on terminology?

ZSU = self-propelled. ZPU = towed.

Text merged from ZSU-23-2[edit]

>The ZSU-23-2 is a two barrel, 23mm anti aircraft cannon mounted on a towed, 2 >wheeled carrage. Barrels can also be fully depressed to allow firing at ground >targets. It is effective out to 2500m at an elevation of 1500mm. > This weapon was introduced by the Soviet Union in 1964. It was exported extensively, and there are a number of non-ex-Soviet produced versions.

The above text about ZSU-23-2 seems a description of a "vulgar" towed ZU-23-2. Besides, as far as I know ZSU-23-2 is simply a misspelling of ZU-23-2, caused by similar designations such as ZSU-23-4, ZSU-57-2. In those designations, "S" stands for "samokhodnaya" - "self-propelled". ZU-23-2 is towed and afaik doesn't have an "official" self-propelled version (although improvised versions exist, see photo in the article or here [1]). So... does anybody have any information about something oficially called ZSU-23-2 ? If not, the article needs to be fixed. Bukvoed 09:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the above text. If somebody has any information about variant called ZSU-23-2, please add it to the variants section. Bukvoed 12:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of ZU-23-2?[edit]

Finnish ItK 95[edit]

Article says Finnish ItK 95 is often mounted on vehicle, i would personally say that it's never used from vehicle, only original model is used. That is what they train in finnish army —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.251.226.5 (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 23:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rate of fire[edit]

Can we clarify that 2,000rpm is the rate of fire for both barrels combined, rated as a unitary system? I don't want to change it mysefl, not being 100% positive. AnnaGoFast (talk) 23:48, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
