The Boxer-Skyranger is the direct successor of the Gepard SpAAG, and no, not one of these Vehicles costs '100Mio', maybe a hole Battery with all bells and wistles costs that but not one Gun or Vehicle!

[@supremebeme]

47 mile artillery range is insane

[@dianapennepacker6854]

The US Army is developing a system that can hit 100 miles. The video is wrong too unless there is a caveat I am missing. The US Army fired a round at 68 miles. Think they are also designing a new gun that is like 50 feet long. Right now they are equipping Paladins with a gun that is longer but not that long - still a significant upgrade but they decided that this gun will be the longest a Paladin can handle without completely destroying mobility. US Army IMO needs to design a new Arty. Paladins are showing their age. It is a shame we scrapped the Crusader because a lot of that tech is used by SKs which is considered the best artillery in the world ATM.

[@ddshiranui]

@@dianapennepacker6854 Could the caveat be the "conventional" bit? From what I recall, the headline-making artillery rounds used onboard range extenders like base bleed or even ramjet to reduce drag.

[@Grimmwoldds]

Guns/cannon never went out. They just have an effective range of about 2 miles(3 km), which isn't much and so has limited applicable missions. For a long time, supersonic jets and long range anti-radiation missiles made gun based anti-aircraft systems largely useless, but with slower/cheaper threats emerging, close in is back in style.

[@jessc3007]

I like the sky shield/mantis system but one of those 35mm rounds probably costs more than the drone it's trying to shoot down - and it'll always be firing a burst of them. Though it would still be useful against larger, more expensive drones or protecting high value targets. IMHO, alongside electronic warfare/DEW, lower caliber weapons (12.7-14.5mm) with optical and audio sensors guided by AI trained to recognize visual and audible signatures is the way to mitigate the damage done by cheap mass produced drones (at short ranges, obviously.) People almost never see or hear them on a battlefield; radar also has trouble seeing them - and tells everyone where you are, making you a bigger target. But AI image and audio recognition is getting so good I think it would work well at scanning the sky for drones.

You said it right: a $100 million cannon. In the West, the arms monopoly is in the hands of those who have every interest in creating very expensive weapons which are then destroyed by cheap weapons. A drone that costs less than 10,000 euros destroys a 10 million tank. A 100 million gun, even if it is efficient, is a loser in modern warfare. War intelligence lies in the most efficient weapon at the lowest cost, and we in the West, in the hands of those who wage war to earn money, lose from the outset, because even if it were possible, a cheap weapon, the factories of Western weapons, they do not build it, because being private, it is not in their interest to win wars, but to earn. A 100 million cannon is a defeat from the start. But what about you? You are propaganda to arms factories, not intelligence

I would predict that drones will become more sophisticated through the years. What we see now will be ancient in the next few years. The military realizes the importance of drones and will continue development and also develop means to destroy them.

[@makegaminggreatagain3907]

Rheinmetall should implement a reciprocating barrel to the 35mm, and ZMT should also look at implementing them on the PSRA Pilica. Sure single barrel shot deviation is not as great as multi-barrel rotating auto cannons, how ever reduced recoil and increased follow up shots time should not be over looked.

[@canuckbucks]

I assume that the effectiveness of each type would differ given range, target size, and onboard AI. Are you knowledgeable enough to comment on each type's effectiveness given realistic scenarios? This helps me to quickly appreciate the power and effectiveness of various systems. Let's say the targets are 30, 1-metre quadcopters, sat-linked for combined arms effects under AI control, and a moderate, defensive EW onboard. So, how might these two kinetic capabilities, rotating vs. low-recoil, perform and differentiate themselves, when tasked to destroy this drone cloud? I think the general population in EU and NA assumes that only electronic warfare can be realistically applicable here. Are they wrong? Can kinetic options justify themselves against such targets? Or are we, 'fighting the last war" by insisting we shoot at tiny airborne computers? I understand that reality is not as cut and dried as I just described it, nonetheless, democratic citizens have a clear and grave responsibility to oversee their government and frankly, over the last two decades, many gov't in the West have shown themselves not up to the task. Thus it falls to civic bodies to apply pressure demanding transparency, voting integrity, and party gatekeeping against extremists. Minority rule destroys democracies 99/100. All other causes combined are 1/100. We must reform!

Guess a small cheap drone able to home on enemy drones will be a lot cheaper. But cost effectiveness never seems to have been the objective.

[@TrangleC]

A gun that fires relatively simple projectiles is not just cheaper but also more efficient. Transporting, storing and reloading the ammo is much simpler and faster than having to transport some sort of "killer drone" and also, such a killer drone would need pretty advanced sensors and electronics to be able to intercept another drone and it would need a relatively big payload to reliably destroy a attacking drone. Besides, the Skyranger system can not only shoot down drones, but everything that flies and gets close enough, including artillery and mortar shells against which some supposedly cheap interceptor drone would be helpless.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

What? If economy of scale goes into effect there is no way a drone will cost less then a 35mm round that can also be used against other targets from ground fortifications to ground and air vehicles like low flying attack craft. The German Sky Guard has it right IMO. It would be nice if the tech could be miniaturized for next gen tanks to be able to use their 30mms to lock onto small drones as well. The C-Ram needs to be replaced with a larger caliber that has air burst. Its cool and all we can shoot bullets with bullets but that leaves too much margin of error! Well compared to the German AHEAD ammo with the timed fuses that create a uniformed wall of tungsten. Doesn't take much to knock out a drone.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

MANPADs are better suited against helicopters. We need to improve them though as the Stinger for whatever fucking reason costs a LOT more even with inflation taken into account. We need to up the range on our MANPADs for sure as helicopters are just going to be sniping BVR. A Javelin equivalent is needed with a good optic especially for night time. C Ram still sucks though. 20mm doesn't have enough range or power. Plus it doesn't have a burst effect like the AHEAD ammo which I always thought was stupid. Too much margin for error. With the speed of incoming projectiles and velocity of your gun - it doesn't take much to destroy the target or make it miss. So having a round that creates a uniformed wall of tungsten X meters wide just makes a lot of sense.

[@0Turbox]

@@dianapennepacker6854 You still need something against cheap drones and Arty rounds. Things you can't attack with a man pad rocket. And I said, that the 35 mm is better against helis vs. a 20 mm round, not compared against rockets. You can equip a sky ranger system with additional rockets anyway. Also, you can use flares against rockets and maybe the other side finds a way to jam your systems in a conflict, with no alternative you are pretty much fucked.

My onclusion is that C-ram is the less attractive , too complicated solution.

[@ddshiranui]

Apparently Phalanx C-RAM rounds are also incapable of airburst, requiring a direct hit to have any effect. This, together with the smaller potential payload capacity, is probably the reason why the system has to practically spit out a stream of metal to score kills, thereby increasing logistical drain. How many tonnes of 20mm does a turret need to have available to protect against waves of incoming targets over a prolonged deployment? Rather than too complicated, I think Phalanx is only being less attractive because it's less effective. Designed in the 70s(!), it was simply limited by the technology available at the time, and designers opted for a "quantity over quality" approach in terms of munitions. Perhaps with advanced miniaturization and more powerful explosives, the smaller rounds could be upgraded to incorporate airburst as well, but apart from driving up the cost it kind of defeats the purpose of a gun that is inherently supposed to dominate the skies via sheer volume of fire.
