Historical Background:
The Bofors 40 mm L/60 anti-aircraft gun is one of the most successful designs in the history of anti-aircraft artillery. Developed by the Swedish company Bofors in 1932, it quickly gained worldwide recognition. In Great Britain, it became the primary weapon of anti-aircraft defense during the Battle of Britain, protecting London and other key cities from Luftwaffe raids. Thanks to its reliability and effectiveness, this gun was produced under license in many countries (including Poland and the USA) and remained in active service in some armies until the 1980s.
