Historical Background

The K-52 85mm heavy anti-aircraft gun was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s as a response to the growing threat from the air forces of potential aggressors. The late 1939 version (m1939 late production) featured improved components, a reinforced barrel, and a modified aiming mechanism. The K-52 gun was used by the Red Army from the late 1930s until the end of World War II, both for countering enemy aircraft and—thanks to its high firepower—for supporting ground operations, especially in anti-tank defense.
