The anti-aircraft artillery complex is designed to replace the outdated ZSU "Shilka" and twin anti-aircraft installations ZU-23

MOSCOW, December 24. /tass/. The anti-aircraft artillery complex (ZAC) "Derivation-Air defense" will allow the use of projectiles with programmable detonation to destroy micro- and mini-drones (UAVs). This was announced in an interview with the newspaper "Krasnaya Zvezda" by the head of the military air defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Alexander Leonov.

"We are doing a lot of work to create promising means of military air defense. In terms of the development of new means, the creation of a 57-mm anti-aircraft artillery complex "Derivation-air defense" with a set of ammunition continues. The use of a projectile with a programmable detonation in the target area will allow hitting micro- and mini-UAVs, for example, quadrocopters of the Phantom-4 type, with one or two short bursts," Leonov said.

According to him, the complex is designed to replace the outdated ZSU "Shilka" and twin anti-aircraft installations ZU-23.

Earlier it was reported that the ZAK "Derivation-Air Defense" is the only anti-aircraft system in the world that hits air targets with 57-mm guns and equipped with artillery fire controls. For the first time, the complex was presented at the Army-2018 forum, in June 2020, Derivation-Air Defense took part in the Victory Parade on Red Square for the first time.

The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was created on the chassis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. The gun is capable of firing ammunition with controlled detonation for the most effective fight against aerial targets. 2C38 is primarily designed to combat drones, cruise missiles and aircraft weapons in the near zone. It is also capable of working on ground targets.
