[@Weisior]

I think the anti-aircraft vehicles that mainly use machine guns are still in use and will never get out of fashion. These may be not as sophisticated and not on the spearhead of the anti-aircraft units, but they definetely got their back. In Ukraine they use mobile anti-aircraft squads equipped with mainly machine guns on pickups or trucks, immortal ZU-23-2 of soviet origin or even personal assault rifles to hunt drones and cruise missiles. Theres bright future lying ahead of such solutions.

[@VitalPereira-rm8lr]

@@Weisior mas será mesmo necessário uma munição com esse mega calibre apenas para abater um drone? a munição deve ser mais cara do que o drone.. hehehe eu creio que a maior dificuldade que os Ucranianos enfrentam, são as bombas planadoras.. e não me parece que essas possam ser destruídas no ar com esse sistema de munição.. onde estão a os S 200 que a Ucrânia alegadamente tinha em enormes quantidades ? o S 200 da época da União Soviética. seriam até bons para os Ucranianos abaterem caças que voam mais baixo.. não?

[@Weisior]

@@VitalPereira-rm8lr To deal with russian aircraft launching glide bombs and cruise missiles they need their own air force on at least similar technical and skill level and a solid AD screen to complement it. Their air force is motivated and skilled, but not big enough and technologically inferior, their modern AA systems are too low in numbers to protect every single meter of their land, rarely working near the frontline where russian aircraft drop their munitions. Maybe this state will change when Ukrainians get enough fairly modern western aircraft, missiles and trained personnel in sufficient numbers, but it may take some time...

It's definitely making a comeback. They are cost effective for use against cheap drones.

[@blademaster2390]

Something that should be noted here: the American Avenger is _not_ an anti-air gun, or AAA (Anti-Air Artillery), as is evidenced by its gun being singular and a smaller caliber than its equivalents in other NATO countries. Rather, it is an AA platform, meaning it uses missiles as its anti-air armament. In fact, its missiles are also fired by the American man-portable Stinger launcher. However, its role on the battlefield is different than that of a SAM platform like the PATRIOT. Instead of being an airspace-denial/defense asset, like the PATRIOT and other SAM sites, AA and AAA platforms are used for localized air defense against targets that slip through a SAM site by flying low. Such targets tend to be primarily helicopters - hence the majority of NATO members using AAA - but can also be low-flying ground-attack aircraft, hence why the US uses AA.

[@steveyoutub76]

hat aber auch .50 cal mit an Bord

[@bernardjansen6205]

But why does the US not have AAA?

[@smgdfcmfah]

@@bernardjansen6205 They used to. There was a 20mm 6 barrel "gatling" gun (rotary cannon) mounted on an M-113 (M163 VADS). It had too short a range to deal with AT missile carrying helicopters, but it's replacement was cancelled (there's videos about the M247 Sergeant York and why it never came to be). The bottom line is, the US decided that various levels of AAM systems all the way down to MPADS was a better way to deal with slow air - but mainly they planned to dominate the skies from above. Thing is, no level of air superiority will clear the sky of cheap drones, which is why everyone is going backwards and dusting off and reinventing AAA.

[@bernardjansen6205]

Tudo depende do calibre de cada arma, calibres maiores percorrem distâncias maiores, depende da cadência de tiros de cada arma e depende de um bom sistema de radar para alvos pequenos, neste caso abater drones e mísseis. O Gepard, que é um sistema antiaéreo alemão e não romeno, é de extrema eficàcia, testado na Ucrânia, abatendo até misseis de cruzeiro da Rússia. Já o sistem antiaéreo da Polônia e da Romênia queria mais informações também. O Avenger dos EUA tem calibre baixo, aparentemente eles demoram para abater um drone.

[@duncanidaho2097]

These systems look dated. I know the Gepard is originally first deployed in the 1960’s but is a beast. With radar and fire control geared for anti drone, the guns on these old units will be given new life. The U S is way behind due to their doctrine of establishing air superiority before the age of drone warfare. But they are working hard to get up to date. That Polish 23 mm open top gun looks like 1960’s leftover Soviet equipment.

[@Jza-GZa40k]

The British have a laser weapon….

[@smgdfcmfah]

I agree, they are dated - but some of the new fire control systems aren't. You're right about the US being behind because of their air dominance plans - but also because once slow air started carrying cannons and AT missiles with a range of up to 5 km or more, AAA becomes pretty useless. The drones are a whole new issue, but honestly I think multiple chain driven.50 cals with a good fire control and radar is a good/cheap way to go for close in defense. High energy jammers will likely be the first thing they field (in various forms), and then they will begin launching counter battery fire at the drone's controllers by following the signal (like HARMs do with radar).
