The acronym "ZSU" stands for Zenitnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (Russian: Зенитная Самоходная Установка), meaning "anti-aircraft self-propelled mount"; the "23" signifies the bore diameter in millimeters; the "4" signifies the number of gun barrels. It is named after the Shilka River in Russia. Afghan soldiers nicknamed it the "sewing machine" due to the sound of firing guns. It is also referred to by its nickname of "Zeus". The ZSU-23-4 outclassed all NATO anti-aircraft guns at the time, and it is still regarded as posing a major threat for low-flying fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
All patent print and illustration pages are meticulously restored and digitally refined to remove as many flaws as possible while maintaining the integrity of the original document.
These fine art prints are a wonderful way to own a piece of history featuring your favorite inventions or hobbies to be proudly displayed in your home, office, business, man cave or camp.
All prints and illustrations are printed by a process called Giclée (a French word for "spray'). The inks used in this process have a much higher resistance to fading than normal printing inks. I only use premium quality, acid free archival heavyweight matte or luster paper using Epson Ultrachrome K3 Pigment ink that will last over 100 years.
All images shown are purposefully lower quality for faster upload speed and to prevent others from duplicating my work. The print you receive will be printed in high resolution.
Colors on your monitor may differ slightly from actual product.
All orders ship in a clear, acid free protective sleeve that is inserted into a rigid envelope or tube to ensure safe delivery to your home or office.
