Norinco Type 80 SPAAG

The Norinco Type 80 SPAAG is a chinese self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the soviet design ZSU-57-2.

Description
The system of self-propelled anti-aircraft defense Type-80, is the Chinese version of the ZSU-57-2. The armament is the same and the tower is configured the same way. The main difference between the Chinese system and the Soviet system's chassis. While the Soviets developed a lighter chassis and with only four wheels in its caterpillars, the Chinese did not resort to this expedient. As the chassis of the car is virtually identical to Chinese Type 69, so he has the same five wheels featuring the tank, with traditional distance between the first and second wheel. The Chinese system was developed during the 80s but had the same problems of the Soviet system. The armament was of acceptable quality, but the tower was extremely slow. To make matters worse, in 80 years the system was hopelessly outdated.
