History.
In 1940, the Tula Design Bureau, or known by the full name JSC Konstruktorskoe Buro Priborostroeniya (KBP), developed and built an anti-aircraft defense installation, with the help of Tokarev Nikolai Fedorovich, consisting of a trinity of 12.7 mm DShK machine guns. The machine guns appeared to be fed by magazines of the classic type, pointer and gunner seats, guidance mechanisms, and sights on a special bracket. The equipment was named as “TKB-149,” and one of these systems was mounted on a GAZ-AAA truck in September 1941 at Sverdlov Square, Moscow, in preparation for possible German air attacks. Shortly before these events the People’s Commissariat of the Navy ordered 10 of these rigs for mounting on top of light naval vessels and 20 for the NKVD, but it is not known how many were actually delivered so the rig used in Moscow remains the only one with known use. The vehicle was probably rearmed after more sophisticated antiaircraft armament was designed and the armament itself was probably reused for land use with the infantry.
Armaments and propulsion.
As mentioned earlier, the vehicle was armed with three 12.7 mm DShK machine guns placed in a TKB-149 type rig and fed by magazines of unknown capacity, and the weapon had good range and elevation. The ammunition reserve is not known.
The armament was probably mounted on a GAZ-AAA truck powered by a 3.3L GAZ-AA I4 engine of 50 hp power, which could propel the truck up to 60 km/h top speed.
