anti-aircraft guns
Airplane defense weapons
Anti-aircraft guns are weapons designed to shoot down aircraft.
They fire explosive shells or rapid bursts of ammunition at airborne targets, typically mounted on swiveling platforms that allow quick tracking across the sky.
The term covers everything from truck-mounted machine guns to large naval batteries: Anti-aircraft guns lit up the night sky during the raid.
