The KS-19 is one of many artillery types available to Chinese armed forces. By Staff Writer
The KS-19 (Type 59) is a manually loaded and operated towed anti-aircraft artillery system. A sustained rate of fire by a capable crew is reported to be between 10-15 rounds per minute. Sighting can be accomplished with the on-frame direct site (ranging the armament to about 4,000 meters) or the optional radar system sight (increasing the range of the armament to 12,600 meters). The weapon system is designated as the Type 55 when in the Chinese inventory.
