The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to use Stalin's anti -aircraft guns in the Kharkiv direction (photo)
They have a caliber 100mm. These are old tools that were made from 1948 to 1957. During this time, they were produced about 10 thousand. It is noted that the guns managed to "confuse" during the Korean War in 1950-1953 and during the Vietnam War. The main characteristics of the KS-19: the target for the KS-19 is the radar station of the SNO-9A "Globus". Officially, the Russian army removed such guns from weapons that it does not exclude their use.
The KS-19 is only in the paramilitary units of "Roshydromet"-this is the Russian Hydrometeorological Service. The publication indicates that the presence of such old tools in the troops can speak of serious problems with artillery with the enemy. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the situation can be extremely difficult because of the high level of wear and tear of tools.
