Why Russia’s DShK Machine Gun Is Fighting Around the World Around nine thousand DShK’s were produced during World War II, serving primarily in Red Army anti-aircraft units. Here s What You Need to Remember: Dushka and KPV machine guns mounted on trucks continue to play a major role on all sides of the civil wars in Syria and Libya, and insurgency in Iraq, and even crop up in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Modern Western warplanes now mostly use precision-guided weapons at high altitudes that leave them well outside the range of heavy machine gun fire. Few American weapons are quite so legendary as the powerful M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun, or “Ma Deuce,” still widely employed a century after its initial development in 1918. However, the Soviet Union built its own .50 caliber weapon that became just as widespread and punched out its own mark on world history from Vietnam and Afghanistan to Somalia and Syria today.
