Historical background

The 90/53 gun was one of the main anti-aircraft guns of the Italian army during World War II (1939-1945). Designed in the early 1930s, it was initially intended to combat aerial targets, but its excellent performance also made it a very effective anti-tank weapon. It was used primarily by Italian forces on the African front in North Africa (e.g., El Alamein) and in defensive operations on the Italian Peninsula. This gun was equivalent to the German 8.8 cm Flak 36 both in terms of design and combat capabilities.
