Is it issues detecting and tracking? Seems like radar guided gun systems should shred shaheeds but perhaps I’m missing something.
I can see the difficulties tracking quad copter / fpv drones… anyone have insight?
Microwaves are faster than bullets
anyone using mw weapons on either side? genuinely curious.
herf guns?
Straight out of a scifi novel, this guy
nifty. wonder how well it works
Not sure how much is militariaganda, but there was a dude slinging one of these around during a couple of big diplomatic events in the past couple of years, so probably partially effective at the very least.
Oh and there’s also whatever aircraft mounted variant that the americans used when they invaded venezuela, the one that made Maduro’s guards “bleed from the eyes, ears and nose”, while describing feeling like someone had parked a car on their head.

to me that’s shades of the devices that caused Havana Syndrome all over again
Its a similar problem in the cold war aircraft. They fly low, so the time for detection, identification, targeting and shooting is quite short. The gun can shoot out to a few km, but can only see low flying targets out to a few hundred meters.
Gun systems only really work if you are defending a position targeting by the drone. Even then, you need a very large number of guns as each gun system only has an effective bubble of a few hundred meters against low flying drones.
Ukraine has been doing very well with audio based detection to give advanced warning and using man portable weapons to shoot down drones. Russian drones have since started flying higher, which then opens then up radar detection, bigger gun systems and interceptor drones.

I wonder what would be required to detect the smaller targets at further ranges. Audio networks with large distribution might work…
From what I understand Ukraine is using thousands of cellphones on a stick with a solar panel and external mic.
With directional mics you can get additional range.
that is slick
Big ears
We’ve come full circle
Used in early WW2 to listen for planes, pre radar
because you can have anti-drone shotgun blyat! (serious concept sold as serious ppl)
blyat!
that thing but with Saiga shotties
This seems great until you have to reload it
desperate orks call for desperate blyat
