Historical Context

The K-61 37mm antiaircraft gun, developed in the late 1930s, was an evolution of Soviet designs inspired by foreign technologies, notably the Swedish Bofors 40mm. Designed to protect troops and infrastructure from enemy air attacks, it was mounted on a mobile platform, allowing for quick deployment and movement.

Engaged early in the conflict on the Eastern Front, it played a crucial role in defending against the Luftwaffe, particularly during the battles of Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk. Its effectiveness kept it in service even after the war, with some units being modernized and used through the early Cold War years.
