The TA-78 is a towed anti-aircraft gun armed with a six barrel 20mm minigun. It entered service in 1978 and is in use with several nations in Astyria.

In addition to its role as an anti-aircraft platform, the TA-78 has also been highly effective against lightly armored vehicles as well.

Design

The TA-78 consists of a 20mm cannon, linked ammunition feed system, and a fire control system in powered turret, mounted on a towed carriage.

The carriage is stabilized by two outriggers at the rear and a jack at the front. A single operator is seated on the weapon with the ammunition to his left, the sights and gun in front and a range only radar to his right.
