This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun mounted two 57mm anti-aircraft guns in a twin mount. The guns were high velocity and had a rate of fire in excess of 200 rounds per minute. Lacking radar, they struggled with fast jets. Iraq ordered 100 ZSU-57-2 anti-aircraft tanks in 1970 from the Soviet Union and they were delivered between 1971 and 1973. A few were given to the Chinese for reverse-engineering, and subsequencely Iraq operated a number of Chinese built Type 80 copies of the ZSU-57-2.

In Finnish Service
Finland imported twelve ZSU-57-2 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns between 1960 and 1961. The Finnish designated the ZSU-57-2 as 57 ItPsv SU 57-2. They lack tracking and targeting radar so they only have limited utility against fast moving strike aircraft, but can be used to defeat enemy helicopters and provide additional ground support fire.
