The ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" (Russian: Зенитная Самоходная Установка) is a Russian radar-guided self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle named after the Shilka River that runs to the southeast coast of Russia into the Sea of Okhotsk. Its sound when it fires gave it a nickname of the "sewing machine" among troops of the Polish Army, which was also a play on its name as "shic", a similar word, means "to sew" in Russian. It is armed with four 2A7 23mm autocannons and has up to 15mm thick of steel plate armor at the front, with 9.2mm thick armor on the turret.
