The KS-19 100mm anti-aircraft gun () is a Soviet anti-aircraft gun that also features efficient capabilities against ground targets.
== Characteristics == The KS-19 is a towed anti-aircraft gun that was specifically designed to excel in ground combat, particularly against armored targets and as artillery. Due to its towed nature, it requires an external means of mobility, typically an AT-S Medium or AT-T Heavy tracked artillery tractor. The 15-man crew is transported on the tractor, along with readily available ammunition for the gun.
