antiaircraft guns
Ground-to-air weapons
Antiaircraft guns are weapons designed to shoot down aircraft, typically featuring rapid fire and the ability to aim at high angles.
They range from truck-mounted machine guns to large artillery pieces.
The term often appears in historical contexts—World War II antiaircraft batteries defending cities from bombers—though modern systems increasingly rely on missiles rather than guns.
