==Operational history==
The Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery saw widespread deployment by the Covenant in the occupied [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony worlds]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]].
Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery was first encountered late in the [[Human-Covenant War]] and saw widespread deployment by the Covenant in the occupied [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony worlds]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. Though ONI analysts presumed the vehicle was a dedicated air defense vehicle, the Covenant often deployed AA Wraiths as a direct assault vehicle against UNSC forces in urban areas.


AA-Wraiths were deployed during the [[Battle of Mombasa|Covenant occupation]] of [[New Mombasa]] in [[2552#October|October 2552]]. Two were deployed at the [[Kikowani]] district to defend the [[Huragok]] [[Huragok recharge station|recharging stations]]. A third was stationed along [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|Waterfront Highway]], part of the extensive expanse of defenses there.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Kikowani Station (level)|Kikowani Station]]''</ref> Multiple Type-52 vehicles were also deployed in the [[Africa]]n city of [[Voi]] during its Covenant occupation in the [[Battle of Earth]]. All of them were eventually destroyed in the [[Battle of Voi|UNSC counterattack]],<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> and the glassing of a small part of Africa.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
