The 2A42 is a modern fast automatic cannon with a 30 mm caliber, widely used since the early 1980s (Cold War period and modern times). It entered service with the Soviet Army and later with the Russian Federation. Versions of this weapon can be found on the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles—one of the world's most recognizable IFVs, BTR-90 armored personnel carriers, and the highly advanced Mi-28 attack helicopters. The weapon has been actively used in numerous armed conflicts, including Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Syria, as well as by many countries operating Russian armaments.
