The GSh-30-2 was designed for the [[Sukhoi Su-25]] [[ground attack]] plane, it can also be carried in external [[gun pod]]s and mounted on the Pakistani-Chinese [[CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder|JF-17 Thunder]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-04-02 |title=FC-1 (JF-17 Thunder) Multirole Fighter Aircraft - SinoDefence.com |url=http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/fighter/fc1.asp |access-date=2023-02-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130402110528/http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/fighter/fc1.asp |archive-date=2013-04-02 }}</ref> It measures 2,044 × 222 × 195 mm, with a barrel length of 1500 mm and a weight of 105 kg. The GSh-30K is a modified version with 2400 mm long [[water-cooled]] barrels, a variable rate of fire, and dimensions of 2,944 × 222 × 195 mm. It is used on a fixed mounting on late model Mil [[Mi-24]] helicopters, e.g. the Mi-24P.
