Invading Russian forces are transferring S-60 anti-aircraft guns from the 1940s to the front, the Ukrainian government’s Center for Strategic Communications, or StratCom, said in a Telegram messenger post on Oct. 15.

“Another batch of prehistoric cr*p that the Katsaps (Russians) are dragging to the front,” StratCom said.

“These are S-60 anti-aircraft guns.”

The S-60 anti-aircraft artillery system, which uses AZP-57 mm anti-aircraft guns, was developed in the mid-1940s.

Previously, these systems had been kept in storage by Russia, and were not in active service.
