English term or phrase: flat gun
Доброго времени суток.

Standing just 500m away from the bottling plant are the rajamaki towers. Each was built to hold an anti-aircraft or flat gun, capable of unleashing deadly fire upon approaching enemy aircraft. A flat gun is simply an artillery piece, which is made with a high elevation on the barrel to bring aircraft down. It will shoot a shell high into the air, that shell will burst near the aircraft, hopefully, and the bursting fragments will bring an aircraft down.

зенитное орудие


Explanation:
Здесь явно ошибка. Должно быть: flak gan (= anti-aircraft gun). flat gun = flat-trajectory gun - это орудие с настильное траекторией. В деревне Раямяки (Финляндия) находился завод по производству коктейлей Молотова. Наши его бомбили. Для защиты завода с воздуха были построены две наблюдательные (зенитные) башни (flak tower), на которых были размещены зенитные орудия. См. ссылку.

Example sentence(s):
  • ...and together they funded two concrete towers that would house 40mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft guns...
