MOSCOW, May 15-RIA Novosti. The latest anti-aircraft artillery complex ZAK-57 "Derivation-AIR DEFENSE", armed with an automatic gun of 57-mm caliber, successfully hit unmanned aerial vehicles of various types during tests, the press service of the Uralvagonzavod Research and Production Corporation (UVZ, part of Rostec) told RIA Novosti.

"Preliminary tests of all the vehicles of the complex have been completed, including the possibility of combating various types of drones. The relevance of an effective fight against combat drones is increasing every day, so the need for the anti-aircraft complex being created is growing, " the UVZ said.

The corporation clarified that the complex "Derivation-Air DEFENSE" is designed to destroy enemy air attack means in the near zone. The complex includes a combat vehicle equipped with a 57-mm automatic gun, a transport and loading vehicle, as well as a repair and maintenance vehicle. As noted in UVZ, "Derivation-Air defense" is equipped with modern optics and electronics that allow you to detect, recognize and track fast-flying targets.

For the ZAK-57, the creation of a promising ammunition package is currently underway, including shots with multifunctional projectiles and electronic fuses of remote contact action.

As the head of the military air defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Alexander Leonov, said at the end of last year, state tests of the "Derivation-Air DEFENSE" complex are scheduled for 2022.

...выстрелы с многофункциональными снарядами и электронными взрывателями дистанционно-контактного действия. Это шибко замечательно, но для полного счастья не хватает колесной машины со стрельбой на ходу (промежуточным мостом с ненадувными колесами вместо выдвижных опор - типа "Бардака-нео").
