30,000 anti-aircraft guns fired 3 million rounds of artillery shells in 2 days

Looking at the two world wars, in addition to bringing huge disasters to mankind, it is undeniable that many weapons Equipment was also developed during this period, such as the anti-aircraft guns from World War I.

With its fast rate of fire and wide range, anti-aircraft guns began to become an indispensable weapon on the battlefield of World War II. After being equipped with a fire control system, the anti-aircraft gun can also hit some water targets.

However, with the advancement of military technology in recent years, the shortcomings of anti-aircraft guns have become more and more prominent, such as low shooting accuracy, and they have gradually been replaced by other advanced weapons. According to incomplete statistics, in the face of highly maneuverable fighters, anti-aircraft guns only shot down one fighter plane after firing 2,000 rounds, which means that the status of anti-aircraft guns has begun to gradually decline.

However, since entering the new century, anti-aircraft guns have begun to appear one after another after upgrading and transformation, such as electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns and laser anti-aircraft guns, etc., which are very popular in many countries. Among them, Iraq especially has a special love for anti-aircraft guns.

During the Iraq War that year, faced with the invasion of advanced British and American fighter planes, Iraq used 30,000 anti-aircraft guns for defense in an attempt to use anti-aircraft guns to inflict heavy losses on British and American fighter planes. The result was unexpected by its commander at the time. However, after the war started, British and American fighter planes began to bombard fiercely, but Iraq's beloved anti-aircraft guns were like targets at this moment, being directly blown to pieces by the shells dropped by the highly maneuverable fighter planes.

In addition, Britain and the United States also sent ground troops and dropped more than 2,400 artillery shells. Under the double blow, Iraq was unable to fight back, and dozens of cities were attacked one after another. The bombing lasted for two days. After Iraq's favorite anti-aircraft artillery fired 3 million rounds, not even a single fighter plane was shot down.

Afterwards, the commander felt that he was ashamed of his achievements, so he took the initiative to resign from his post to show the mistakes he had made. In the final analysis, the battlefield commander cannot be blamed. After all, in the face of advanced weapons, backward anti-aircraft artillery cannot withstand a beating.
