ASU, Asu or asu may refer to:
The ASU-85 (Russian: Авиадесантная самоходная установка, АСУ-85, Aviadesantnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka, 'airborne self-propelled mount') is a soviet-designed airborne self-propelled gun of the Cold War Era. From 1959, it began to replace the open-topped ASU-57 in service. It was, in turn, replaced by the BMD-1 beginning in 1969.
Development of a new assault gun for the armed forces started at the OKB-40 design bureau of the Mytishchi Machine Building Plant (MMZ), under the supervision of chief designer Nikolaj Aleksandrovich Astrov. The first Ob'yekt 573 prototype was ready for factory tests in the second half of 1953. This first vehicle was followed by a small batch of three improved vehicles that were evaluated by the armed forces in 1956-1957. The improved vehicles were powered by a new, horizontal six cylinder diesel engine, the YaMZ-206V, instead of the original V-6 of the PT-76. In 1958, the order to start series production of the SU-85 - as it was initially known (although there was already a vehicle with that same name, based on the T-34) - was given. However, as a result of an order from the Ministry of Defense to add an armoured roof (the initial vehicles were still open-topped), series production could only begin in 1961. By then, the configuration was already out of date and in the second half of the 1960s, the VDV became the main operator of the SU-85 and renamed it the ASU-85.
Bubba dodged the draft in Vietnam, If Hitler was alive today he'd say, "Peace Man"
But the 60's came and the 60's went, and now Bubba is part of the Establishment
Got elected by 42%, He became the quota president
Packed the car and went to Washington D.C., He brought Al & Tipper & Hillary
[Chorus]
{He's a taxraiser, promise breaker, adulterer, He's a draft dodger, Liberal dictator, potsmoker}
Made a lot of promises for which he is famous, Wants a gay man up the army's anus
Knows you've got money and he want's it, If air wasn't free he'd put a tax on it
Says the countries problems are ones you made, I never burned a cross or owned a slave
He's even got a man for a spouse, People are crashing planes into his house
[Chorus]
He's got a dirty sock for a knob, Jennifer Flowers did the cleaning job
Tried to bag Ms. Paula Jones, Should have let Ted Kennedy drive her home
Other women just come naturally, Bubbas got 'em and so does Hillary
He thinks he's every woman's best, Better get that guy a Kevlar vest
