I got to see a Skyguard battery light up a B1 (with blanks) when we were playing OPFOR during OPMARCOT 98 in Stephenville, NFLD. The noise of the four massive afterburning F-101-GE-102 turbofans added to 35mm fully-automatic cannons was impressive....felt as much as it was heard!

Most of the Soviet client states fielded these at one time or another. I saw both the Zsu-23-4 as well as the trailered Zu-23-2 in Syria in '98/'99. The Israelis have a captured Zsu-23-4 at their museum in Latrun as well.

Used to be a ZSU 23/4 at the Museum of Army Flying at Little Wallop. Still there for all I know!
