On 16 January 1991, during the First Persian Gulf War, Iraqi ZSU-57-2s shot down a Tornado GR1 strike aircraft during an attack by four British aircraft on the Iraqi Shaibah air base. The same day in the late evening one more Tornado GR1 was shot down and three other British Tornados were badly damaged by AA fire near Shaibah. ZSU-57-2s were also used in the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
