The story begins with the well-known events 1945 of the year, namely the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The results of the bombing could not make the proper impression on the Soviet leadership. Plus the appearance of the aircraft American B-36, that was able to fly 11 000 kilometers at an altitude of 15 kilometers.

The situation is "something must be done" at its best.
Lev Lyulyev, chief designer of Sverdlovsk machine-building design bureau (SMKB) "Innovator" Sverdlovsk region, twice Hero of Socialist Labor, became the, who decided the problem of protecting the air space of the country.
Experienced a series of four KC-19 was manufactured, factory number 8 in September 1947 year and in the same month has passed factory tests. According to the results of military trials COP-19 was recommended to the adoption.
Soviet Army 100 mm anti-aircraft gun sample 1947 g. (KS-19) It was adopted in March 1948 g.
COP-19 provided combating air targets, rate had to 1200 km / h and a height of 15 km. All elements of the complex at the fighting position have been interconnected conductive bond.
Pointing the gun in anticipation point produced hydropower drive the GPS-100 from PUAZO. But in the case of damage to the drive or control cables may guidance manual forces calculation.
The gun KS-19 were completely mechanized following operations: installation fuse, chambering a cartridge, shutter closing, the shot, shutter opening and extraction of the sleeve.
Modes of fire:
13 shots of 1 minute;
45 shots of 5 minutes;
110 shots of 60 minutes;
160 shots of 120 minutes.
The shelling of the next target to migrate pointing angles is still possible, than 2,5 minutes.
For automatic remote aiming in azimuth and elevation, or less than eight guns COP-19 and the automatic commissioning installation ACF values for fuse according PUAZO used GPS system-100M.
The source of the power station served as ACT-LP Power, is producing three-phase voltage 23-/133 And frequency 50 Hz.
Also included complex KS-19 was part of the radar gun aiming SON-4.
CPA-4 was a biaxial towed wagon, a roof mounted rotating antenna diameter 1,8 m with a rotation asymmetrical emitter. It had three modes of operation:
- all-round visibility for target detection and monitoring of the traffic situation on the indicator Omnidirection;
- manual control of the antenna to detect targets in the sector before moving to automatic tracking and coarse positioning;
- automatic tracking angular coordinates for accurate determination of the azimuth and elevation along automatically and slant range.
COP-19 apparatus
Gun barrel consists of a pipe, breech, coupling, lining with namitka, muzzle brake and nuts.
Shutter vertical wedge semi-automatic.
cradle cast, the front has a clip with three holes: one as a cylinder recoil buffer - recuperator, two for the brake cylinders rolling.
Rollback mechanism changes the length of the right side is assembled with the cradle.
Dosylatelʹ gidropnevmatičeskij. Before the first shot rammer cocked manually using a winch, further dosylka made due to recoil energy.
The lifting mechanism has a toothed sector, attached to the cradle. The lifting mechanism acting on the hydraulic drive and manually.
A counterweight mechanism spring.
The machine is a weldment, consisting of a cast foundation, the right and left cheeks, reinforced rib, front and rear connection.
Platform PUV-16 tetraaxial, podressorivanie torsionnoe. Wheel trolley type with SC bus.

FROM 1948 by 1955 years was made 10 151 orudie KS-19.
Currently, anti-aircraft KC-19 stands in service in several countries mainly in Africa and the Middle East, and are also used avalanche warning services for the descent of avalanches, as well as for hail cloud dispersion.
Anti-aircraft systems COP-19 took part in all current conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, but 100% confirmation of downed aircraft is not available.
