@@0thPAg This is a completely different use case versus the javelin. A javelin is also human operated.

Personally, I would use an APKWS kit on like 150 FFAR rockets An APKWS kit is a laser guidance kit for 2.75 in unguided rockets. They are pretty cheap and they do the job well. Alternatively, you could use some 57mm guided from a Bofors. Yes, a guided bullet. They exist. Good range, better speed, but a bit more expensive. And if you don't feel like using lasers or smth then just use an M61A1 Gatling. Pretty good. About 100 rounds per second.
