Flaks are very cheap and effective against all type of vehicles
several 20mm flaks can stop Tiger !!!!

They are the type that the IRA used to try and bring down British Army helicopters in Northern Ireland - and they did once.

The name Bofors is strongly associated with a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun based on a Bofors design which was produced and used by both sides during World War II, and often called simply the Bofors Gun. The gun saw service on land and sea, and became so widely known that anti-aircraft guns in general were often referred to as Bofors guns. Another well-known gun made by the company was the Bofors 37 mm anti-tank gun, a standard anti-tank weapon used by a variety of armies early in the war. It was license-built in Poland and the USA and was also used in a variety of tanks, including the 7TP and M3A3 Stuart.
