ItPsv SU-57

Soon these Soviet-made AA-tanks have been in service half a century and are not capable of shooting down fast figter jets. Their double 57 mm automatic cannons can however still pack quite some punch against "slow" flying attack aircraft and helicopters, for example the Russian Su-25 attack planes and Mi-24 attack helicopters. Not to mention against infantry. The SU-57´s are used in (second line) independent tank battalions and have been modernized by fitting a computer, laser range-finder and so forth. They would probably still be usefull in the rear area.
