The ZU-23-6 system uses Russian-made S-60 anti-aircraft gun four-wheel carriage. In firing position the wheels are raised off the ground and the carriage is supported on four screw jacks, one at the front and one at the rear of the carriage and one either side of the carriage on outriggers. During military parades where the system was unveiled, the ZU-23-6 was towed by a military truck.

| Munitions |
As the ZU-23-6 system uses the same gun as the ZU-23-2 and we can think that it use the same ammunition. The ZU-23-2 can fired four types of 23 mm ammunition, the API, HE, HE-T, and APDS-T.
