37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939 (61-K) (Russian: 37-мм автоматичеÑÐºÐ°Ñ Ð·ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ‚Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð¿ÑƒÑˆÐºÐ° образца 1939 года (61-К)) was a Soviet 37 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun developed during the late 1930s and used during World War II. The land based version was replaced in Soviet service by the ZSU-57-2 during the 1950s. Guns of this type were successfully used throughout the Eastern Front against dive bombers and other low- and medium-altitude targets. It also had some usefulness against lightly armored ground targets. Crews of the 37 mm AD guns shot down 14,657 Axis planes.[1] The mean quantity of 37 mm ammunition to shoot down one enemy plane was 905 rounds.[1]
