Galerie de photos d’un M3A5 Grant II, Le Réservoir moyen M3 était un char américain utilisé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En Grande-Bretagne, le char a été appelé par deux noms basés sur la configuration de la tourelle. Les réservoirs utilisant des tourelles à motifs américains ont été appelés « Général Lee », du nom du général confédéré Robert E. Lee. Les variantes utilisant des tourelles à motifs britanniques étaient connues sous le nom de « Subvention générale », named after U.S. General Ulysses S. Grant. Design commenced in July 1940, and the first M3s were operational in late 1941.

The **ZU-23-2**, or **ZU-23**, is a Soviet-designed, towed 23 mm anti-aircraft twin-barreled autocannon. It was developed in the late 1950s and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1960. It remains one of the most widely used and reliable anti-aircraft systems globally.
Role and Design
- Primary Role: To engage low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and drones at an effective range of up to 2.5 kilometers and an altitude of up to 1.5–2 kilometers.
- Secondary Role: Due to its high rate of fire and powerful rounds, it is highly effective against lightly armored ground targets and infantry positions up to 2 kilometers.
- Configuration: The system mounts two 23 mm 2A14 autocannons on a small two-wheeled carriage.
- Mobilité: It is designed to be highly mobile, easily towed by various military vehicles, and can be converted from a travelling to a firing position in a matter of seconds. In an emergency, it can be fired from the traveling position.
- Firing Platform: In the combat position, the wheels are moved aside, and the weapon rests on three jacks/outriggers for stability.
Spécifications techniques (générales)
- Calibre: 23 mm
- Ammunition: 23x152mm B (used both High Explosive Fragmentation and Armor-Piercing Tracer rounds)
- Rate of Fire: The cyclic rate of fire from both barrels combined is around **2,000 rounds per minute**, though the practical rate of fire is closer to 400 rounds per minute due to the need for bursts to allow for cooling.
- Feeding System: Each gun is fed by a 50-round belt from an ammunition box mounted on the side of the mount.
- Aiming: It is typically aimed manually using the ZAP-23 optical-mechanical sight for air targets and a straight-tube telescope for ground targets.
The ZU-23-2 is renowned for its **simplicity, reliability, and robust construction**, making it a popular choice for forces worldwide. It is often seen mounted on « technicals » (pickup trucks) for improved mobility and ground support.
