The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Israeli SPAA {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]]. The "Shilka" presents a higher rate of fire and more powerful ammunition than its predecessor [[Hovet]], allowing the user to saturate the airspace to increase the chance of hitting a low-flying aircraft.

Israel captured a total of 60 ZSU-23-4 from Egypt and Syria, who acquired them from the Soviet Union shortly after its introduction, during the Yom Kippur War and other conflicts. While there is very limited data surrounding Israel's usage of ZSU-23-4s in combat or even in active service, some captured units were used for personal training in a very limited number. Currently there is a ZSU-23-4 in display at the Yad la-Shiryon Museum, Israel.

Introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' "Shilka" presents a higher rate of fire and more powerful ammunition than its predecessor [[Hovet]], allowing the user to saturate the airspace to increase the chance of hitting a low-flying aircraft. It has the same performance as the Soviet [[ZSU-23-4]], thus it has a very good fire rate, a mediocre cannon for dealing with ground units and an average mobility. Like many other SPAAGs of its rank, it lacks access to any kind of guided missile to deal with air threats.

Description

Israel captured a total of 60 ZSU-23-4 from Egypt and Syria, who acquired them from the Soviet Union shortly after its introduction, during the Yom Kippur War and other conflicts. While there is very limited data surrounding Israel's usage of ZSU-23-4s in combat or even in active service, some captured units were used for personal training in a very limited number. Currently there is a ZSU-23-4 in display at the Yad la-Shiryon Museum, Israel.

Introduced in Update "Fire and Ice", the ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" "Shilka" presents a higher rate of fire and more powerful ammunition than its predecessor Hovet, allowing the user to saturate the airspace to increase the chance of hitting a low-flying aircraft. It has the same performance as the Soviet ZSU-23-4, thus it has a very good fire rate, a mediocre cannon for dealing with ground units and an average mobility. Like many other SPAAGs of its rank, it lacks access to any kind of guided missile to deal with air threats.

Usage in battles

The ZSU-23-4 should be played entirely as an AA vehicle. Do not go tank hunting in this vehicle, as you do not have the armour or the penetration. Focus on keeping the skies clear, something that this vehicle does very well. A high rate of fire and very fast turret traverse means that you should be able to target and destroy even the fastest jets.

You have a high ammo count with this vehicle, meaning that you can afford to find a good spot away from the main fight in order to pick off enemy planes. Unless you need to reload your ammo, avoid spawn points. They are usually the hub of most of the fighting and going to them will put you in the firing line.

While it is fully enclosed, the ZSU-23-4 has armour which makes the M18 Hellcat look like a heavy tank. Even 7.62 mm machine guns stand a fair chance of penetrating this vehicle. This makes you a primary target for aircraft, which at this vehicles BR are usually armed with cannons or high penetration machine guns, which will easily take you out.

Missile-equipped aircraft are the greatest threat to your existence. They are capable of sitting comfortably outside your firing range while firing lethal AGMs at you. Hide from them until they are either dealt with by an allied plane or they come close enough to be dealt with by your 23 mm cannons.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High rate of fire; allows for area saturation
  • Relatively high top speed
  • High ammo count
  • Fast turret traverse
  • Can penetrate lightly armoured vehicles (other SPAAs)
  • Radar-assisted fire control; a lead indicator is shown in Realistic.

Cons:

  • Thin armour; aircraft cannons will cause severe damage
  • Low power to weight ratio; struggles with slopes and off-road
  • Low penetration for 23 mm cannons; means troubles penetrating certain MBTs from the side
  • Radar has very low scan speed

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
