The 14.5mm PKM-2 (also known as the ZPU2) twin-gun anti-aircraft machine gun is designed to provide anti-aircraft cover for units against helicopters and aircraft flying at low speeds (up to approximately 600 km/h) at altitudes up to 1400 m, as well as to engage lightly armored targets. To protect troops on the march, the system was mounted on the bed of trucks such as the Star 660 or Star 266. Since 1967, the PKM-2 has been in service with, among others, the 25th Air Defence Missile Battalion in Dąbrówka, serving as direct anti-aircraft cover for the unit.
