It is a powerful air defence system versus low altitude aircraft, complimenting the higher altitude capabilities of SAM batteries. It is armed with 4 AZP-23 automatic cannons that are guided by an RPK-2 "Tobol" J band radar. During the Soviet-Afghan war, it was found that the vehicle was also very effective in land combat in mountainous and urban terrains, given its weight-of-fire and its ability to elevate its guns to very high angles.
