Tunnisteet | ASU-57 |
The ASU-57 was a small, lightly constructed Soviet assault gun specifically designed for use by Soviet airborne divisions. From 1960 it was replaced by the ASU-85. The ASU-57 was designed to be a light-weight assault gun that could be air-dropped and deployed by rocket-assisted parachute along with the troops. It was lightly armored and armed with a 57 mm gun Ch-51, a development of World War II ZIS-2 but with some similarities to the Ch-26. From 1954, an improved 57mm gun Ch-51M with much shorter double-baffle muzzle brake was fitted. The ASU-57's engine was taken from the GAZ-M-20 "Pobeda" civilian car.
The ASU-57 was a successful design, and saw service with Soviet airborne divisions for around 20 years before being replaced by the ASU-85. During its years of operation 54 vehicles would have been assigned to each airborne division.

The first prototypes of the ASU-57 self-propelled gun were created in 1951. Serial production started in the mid-1950s and lasted only until 1962. Most likely, the ASU-57 was withdrawn from service in the Soviet Army around 1975. The ASU-57 was powered by a single carburetor engine with only 50 HP. The basic armament of the vehicle is the 57mm H-51 or H-51M gun. and 1 PKT machine gun cal .: 7.62 mm. The self-propelled gun was developed specifically for Soviet airborne troops to provide them with elemental anti-tank defense shortly after dropping off. The ASU-57 was therefore adapted to parachute discharge, which forced the vehicle to be light (less than 3.5 tons!) And its armor very weak. Aluminum was also used as the main construction material and the crew's combat compartment completely open at the top and rear, which made it impossible to use the ASU-57 in the conditions of the use of mass destructions. Due to its very high specialization and average ability to combat armored targets, the ASU-57 was not exported.
