The ZSU-57-2, given the internal designation Ob'yekt 500, is a Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft gun armed with two 57mm autocannons. Its designation combines the Russian initials for anti-aircraft self-propelled mount, the 57mm bore of its guns, and the number of gun barrels it carries. It was the first Soviet tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft gun to be mass-produced after the Second World War, and in Soviet service it carried the unofficial nickname Sparka, meaning twin mount, after its paired autocannon armament.
