Historical Overview

The AK-130 is a Soviet automatic naval turret with a twin-barrel 130 mm gun, designed at the end of the 1970s. This weapon was the pinnacle of Soviet naval artillery development and was introduced in the 1980s, primarily on Sovremenny-class destroyers and Kirov-class cruisers. The system featured an exceptionally high rate of fire up to 90 rounds per minute, and thanks to full automation, it was technologically advanced for its time. During its service, the AK-130 participated in numerous Cold War maneuvers and remains in use on selected vessels of the Russian Navy, symbolizing Soviet naval power during the Cold War era and the transition of the 1980s and 1990s.
