設計
由於當時蘇聯運輸機的運載能力不足,ASU-57的設計重點是儘可能小巧輕盈,車身主要為鋁合金製造,正面裝甲6毫米厚而側方和後方4毫米厚,4對車輪和2對托帶輪,其動力為原本用於嘎斯牌汽車的55匹馬力汽油發動機,此車無炮塔而且採用開放式戰鬥室,武裝為一門57毫米口徑Ch-51炮,此炮為二戰時ZiS-2反坦克炮的發展型。當要空投時把它固定在一個地台上,此地台和一個拉出傘和4個直徑30米的主降落傘相連,ASU-57也可直接用Mi-6直升機空運。
英文資料
這型車的資料非常少。這裡是它的英文資料。The ASU-57 was a small, lightly-constructed Sovietassault gun specifically designed for use by Soviet airborne divisions.
History
The ASU-57 was designed to be a light-weight assault gunthat could be air-dropped and deployed by rocket-assisted parachute along withthe troops. It was lightly armored and armed with a 57 mm gun Ch-51, adevelopment of the WWII ZIS-2. Later an improved 57mm gunCh-51M was fitted. The gun fired standard caliber 57x480R ammunition of theZIS-2 anti-tank gun. The ASU-57's engine was taken from the Pobeda civiliancar. The ASU-57 was a successful design, and saw service with Soviet airbornedivisions for around 20 years before being replaced by the ASU-85. During itsyears of operation 54 vehicles would have been assigned to each airbornedivision.
One main drawback was the vehicle's welded aluminum hull,which offers little protection for the crew. However for airborne troops suchvehicles are invaluable, giving lightly armed soldiers who are isolated behindenemy lines mobile artillery support on the battlefield.
