-During the Six Day War of 1967 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Israel captured an unknown number of [[ZSU-57-2]] SPAAs from Egypt and Syria. This anti aircraft vehicles served with the IDF after being adopted into service some of those captured units. They received Israeli camouflage patterns, painting, numbers and designation. While they paraded in the Israeli Independence Day, it's still debated to this day whether or not they were used in combat or even if they were deployed by the IDF at some point. The Israeli Armor Museum states that they were never deployed with the IDF

-It was introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]]. An SPAA built on a heavily-modified T-54 chassis, the ZSU-57-2 features two powerful 57 mm guns, good mobility, and very light armour. It has proven to be more of a menace to ground vehicles than aircraft with its high-velocity cannons, but low sustained rate of fire and poor accuracy. It is still capable of taking aircrafts, if aimed correctly a single hit of it's 57mm HE projectiles should disintegrate any kind of aircraft, In close ranges it may be able to sustain a few hits in it's chassis, since it derivates from the T-54, that has a very good frontal armor.
