As long as the round is properly programmed and fired by a skilled crew it is actually more reliable than an SA-Missile, as SAMs can still be fooled by flares and such, but a 40mm won't be.

That sounds pretty interesting. I did some image processing for a self driving car. Would they point and have a computer estimate distance and velocity of the target to find the best direction to aim the gun? Are the crosshairs basically pointing at current target position as the gun aims for the target's future point of impact? Can the gun estimate distance to target or would the operator tell it to the computer? Is there a special sensor for automatically getting the distance?

Our shoots were off a cliff on the edge of the Pacific, firing at a drogue chute, being pulled a L O N G way behind a P-51 Mustang ! Five batteries, in a row, with a specified arc of fire....and as the chute exited one area, the next gun would take up the fusillade....followed by the next canon...then the next....The idea is to fire a pattern around the chute but if you actually hit it, well, kudos to the layer.........and on one shoot, two of us did and I was one.....what a "fat head" I had that day...:):):)...........the proof was that each gun's ammo. was colored marked and would leave traces of that color on the chute if it penetrated!.....................................................and now, at my age, I gotta say that shooting this "beast" was as good as sex !! :):)

@disappointedbyhumanity22599 жыл бұрын
chechnya Well in a well designed army the Stingers or other MANPADs would be issued to a lower level forward unit, rifle companies or battalions for example. While guns like these would be found defending brigade or division assets most likely including SAMs. That said however you don't want to be stuck with a Stinger if your target is a fast mover at 1-3km skimming trees, you have only one very expensive easily spoofed shot in that event. That is also assuming your stinger teams got warning and were actually readied and pointing in the right direction at the right moment, their lack of radar is a serious hampering.

Bofors 4ever. they are the best AA system in the world. 79 years in service and 72 countries can't be wrong. even USA use them! We swedes rulz when it comes to make weapons that will last ^^. why armies still use it, well answer is that it can still do it's originally intended role so well, plus it cost way less than missiles. so to summarize it's a proven design, economically superior to missiles and simply won't die out since it still will have a job as long as theirs airpower.
