Museum of air defense Forces. Soviet 85 mm air defense gun M1939 52-K

Museum of air defense forces is located in the district Zarya of Balashikha, Moscow region. The 85 mm air defense gun M1939 52-K was successfully used throughout the German-Soviet War against level bombers and other high- and medium-altitude targets. In emergencies they were utilized as powerful anti-tank weapons. The barrel of the 52-K was the basis for the family of 85-mm Soviet tank guns. For a long time it was in service with the Soviet Army until adopting anti-aircraft missile systems.
