Anti-aircraft artillery

Anti-aircraft artillery refers to large-caliber guns specially designed to defend against enemy aircraft. These guns are typically mounted on vehicles, ships, or fixed positions, and use powerful shells to shoot down or deter fast-moving planes and missiles. They operate by targeting airborne threats based on radar or visual tracking, providing a critical layer of defense in military operations. The aim is to intercept and neutralize aerial attacks before they reach their intended targets, leveraging rapid fire, precision, and sufficient explosive force to counter high-speed aerial threats effectively.
