Description
37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939 (61-K) (Russian: 37-мм автоматическая зенитная
пушка 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. The mean quantity of 37 mm ammunition to
shoot down one enemy plane was 905 rounds
Development
The Soviet Navy purchased a number of Bofors 25 mm Model 1933 guns in 1935, trials of the
weapon were successful and it was decided to develop a 45 mm version of the weapon
designated the 49-K. The development under the guidance of leading Soviet designers M. N.
Loginov, I. A. Lyamin and L. V. Lyuliev was successful, but the army thought that the 45 mm
calibre was a little too large for an automatic field weapon. In January 1938 Artillery Factory
Number 8 in Kaliningrad was ordered to develop a 37 mm weapon based on the same design.
The task was fulfilled by the chief designer of the Factory Mikhail Loginov and his assistant Lev
Loktev. Firing trials of the new 61-K were conducted in October 1938. Competitive firing trials
were conducted in 1940 between the 61-K and the Bofors 40 mm/56. They found that there
were no substantial differences between them.
Land version
The weapon was initially installed as a single barrel weapon on a four wheeled ZU-7 carriage,
and was soon ready for service. An initial order for 900 units was placed. The gun was
operated by a crew of eight men. A total of 200 rounds of ammunition were carried which were
fed into the gun in five round clips. Total Soviet production was around 20,000 units, ending in
1945. However, it has also been produced in Poland, China and North Korea.
Armour penetration of the armour-piercing (AP) rounds is reported as 37 millimeters of Rolled
homogeneous armour (RHA) at 60°at 500 meters range and 28 millimeters of RHA at 90° at
1500 meters range
