The A-4 Skyhawk uses either the Colt Mk 12 cannon or ADEN cannon. It depends on the variant or operator. Many air forces didn't want the Colt Mk 12. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:25, 27 December 2019 (EST)

I would also add that the AA gun on three first screenshots in S-60 AA cannon section is too large for 57mm gun and has a different muzzle brake. The barrel looks similar to a 85mm Air Defense Gun M1939 (52-K) but other parts are drawn not very correct. --Greg-Z (talk) 14:35, 27 December 2019 (EST)
