The Armed Forces fighters first shown in the photo of the anti -aircraft installations M55 caliber 20x110 mm. This was reported by Ukraine Weapons Tracker analysts. Photos of the Armed Forces with M75 installations appeared in the open access. However, Defense Express notes that the authors are probably wrong with the name.

The M75 model is a two -barrel rifle of Yugoslav Zastava. Therefore, it is likely that the photo M55 is from the same Zastava. The anti -aircraft installations are quite old. Their production began in 1951. It is unknown whether Ukraine has been purchased or handed over by one of the Western countries. However, in the photo, a single -barrel version of Zastava 20/1MM M55 is a rare version because the three -barrel version of the ZU.

The main characteristics of the M-55: Soviet ZU-23-2 has a speed of fire in 2000 shots per minute, but a lower shooting range (up to 2. 5 km) and the height of the target damage-up to 2 km. At the same time, it should be noted that despite the age of the installations it is still operated. In particular, in Armenia during the battle for Nagirny Karabakh. Therefore, the M-55 can be like a weapon to fight Iranian drones-Kamikadze.
