The ZSU is one of the more popular tanks made by the Soviet Union, traditionally armed with a quad-linked 4x23mm autocannons, a search light, and radar equipment. Its primarily designed to shoot down low-flying aircraft, but its guns were also powerful enough to tear through lightly-armored vehicles and infantry aswell. Infact it was a common practice for Soviet soldiers to bring ZSUs whenever possible in anti-infantry operations due to their sheer lethality. That said, the ZSU was never meant to be a front-line vehicle, so it's armor is woefully light, even concentrated heavy machine gun fire to it's flimsier side and rear armor could potentially wreck it's day.
The ZSU has served with all Soviet states and their allies as the go-to SPAAG from its inception until today, although mainly by armies unable to field better equipment.
