M-53
Notes:
Like many such things, the Czechs developed their own light antiaircraft
gun system during their Warsaw Pact days.
In this case, the twin 30mm autocannon M-53 is used to replace the
ZU-23-2 in Czech and Slovak service.
It is heavier compared to the ZU-23-2, and has a lower rate of fire, but
the range and punch are greater.
There is no provision for radar control, but a telescopic periscope is provided.
