五十年代,由于防空导弹的出现,大大地影响了西方高炮武器的发展。西欧和美国几乎停止了这方面的研究,而美国甚至取消了陆军的高炮装备,将其转入国民警卫队和预备队。这种过份强调防空导弹的优势,忽视高炮作用的观点在六十年代被战争所否定。由于中、小型高炮在低空防御中的出色表现,使西方许多武器生产国重新认识到发展高炮武器的重要性,因此,投以相当大的力量从事该项发展工作,从而形成七十年代各种新式高炮武器争相问世的局面。进入八十年代以来,上述势头继续增加。瑞典“崔尼提”单管40毫米高炮,博福斯57毫 In the 1950s, due to the advent of air defense missiles, the development of Western anti-aircraft gun weapons was greatly affected. Western Europe and the United States have almost stopped their research in this area. The United States even canceled the Army’s artillery equipment and transferred it to the National Guard and Reserve. This over-emphasis on the advantages of air defense missiles and the neglect of the role of anti-aircraft guns was denied by the war in the 1960s. Because of the outstanding performance of medium- and small-sized AA guns in low-level defense, it has re-established the importance of many weapons-producing countries in the West in developing anti-aircraft gun weapons. Therefore, considerable efforts have been devoted to this development to form the seventies A variety of new anti-aircraft artillery competing situation. Since the 1980s, the above momentum has continued to increase. Swedish “Trinity” single tube 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, Bofus 57 milliliters
