anti-aircraft batteries
Shoot down planes
Anti-aircraft batteries are groups of guns or missile systems designed to shoot down enemy aircraft.
The term combines the military sense of battery—an emplacement of artillery pieces operating as a unit—with anti-aircraft, meaning directed against planes.
Anti-aircraft batteries ringed the city during the war.
The weapons may be truck-mounted, fixed installations, or naval gun systems.
