37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939, anti-aircraft gun of Soviet origin

The 37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939 is a Soviet-made rapid-fire cannon designed to shoot down aircraft. The gun measures approximately 20 feet (6 meters) long and stood about 9 feet (3 meters) tall when mounted on its carriage.

This gun was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s and served as a key air defense weapon during World War II. It remained in service after the war and saw use in several Cold War-era regional conflicts.

This gun is displayed at an outdoor location in Nizhny Novgorod where visitors can view it from nearby. It is a large metal structure that is best photographed from a distance to see its full form.
