I think that the South Korean "Raybolt" anti-tank missile system is neat
I don't know anything about it. Tell me more.
What does it do better than the Javelin?
>>62912981Rumor has it that it has an unbeatable target acquisition system. picrel
>>62912981>boomer rocket in the age of the FPV drone
>>62912981Looks flaccid
>>62913001
>>62913019>uncooled thermalAhh yes, hot dogshit
>>62913019>uncooled IRoof
That launcher looks way too cumbersome to lug around on foot.
>>62913019Why is the javelin so fucking expensive? It's almost the same shit. overpriced by US manufacturers?
>>62913028>128*128 thermals>hot doghsit
>>62913036US labor rates aren't cheap
>>62913036dinosaur tech from 80s
>>62913028>>62913029Can you explain this for non military nerds like you?
>>62913043uncooled may as well be unguided, it won't do shit
>>629130354u.
>>62913050>Can you explain this for non military nerds like you?fuck off tourist
>>62913050Hot is target, cooled senor good, uncooled sensor not good. Not max operating temp here: >>62913019
>>62913063So you don't know it. Gotcha
>>62913050NTA but it can't separate noise as easily if not cooled (if I had to guess).
Absolute trash
>>62913050If you need to get the last bit of reliability squeezed out of it, which is vital for such a weapon, than you need it to be cooled. Dunno how the current tech is at the moment or if it has changed in recent years, but uncooled systems have been way more prone to not get a lock-on or lose it.
Looks like some shit out of Halo
>>62912981"we cant into drones" type of weapon
>>62913019>>62913028That is the big difference here, hopefully it's decent or Peltier cooled which would still be "uncooled" because there is no gas.
>>62913089>why have ATGMs if drones>why have arty if drones>why have rifles if drones
>>62913011just think of guided missiles as really fast suicide drones
>>62913110>why have ATGMs if dronesYes>why have arty if dronesDrones can't bring 50kg payload, also you need thousands of them for saturation bombardment>why have rifles if dronesSince ww1 rifles was used mostly for self confidence anyway
>>62913137If I use a rocket motor to make a drone much faster than a propeller is it still a drone?
>>62913036>save $160k per unit>oh but you need to fire 10 of them to hit anythinggee I wonder
>>62913151It's all called munition anywayBe it fpv drone or nlos rocket
>>62913036Mostly age, for parts commonality they are still produced using cutting edge tech that is extremely expensive to manufacture. Problem is that cutting edge tech is from the 80s, not mass produced and still fucking expensive to make.If you didn't care about parts commonality you could replace the 80s processor with a $50 Raspberry Pi but you would need to spend upfront to change the line.
>>62912993it's a weapon ostensibly for use against north korea however it is completely unnecessary as the north is going to win without firing a shot simply because south koreans refuse to have any kids
>>62912981Needs more foam
>>62912981Look at this man's expression. Pure "cunt destroyer" vibes.
>>62913222He's a virile ugly bastard
I like how both China and Korea come out with Javelin copies at around the same time.
>>62913055>uncooled may as well be ungu ... ACK!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7CectEJbSkBoomer? Hello? How is it to live in teh 1984? Did they put 240×160 res thermal sight on Abrams tank already?
>>62913137>Drones can't bring 50kg payload,Ackshually there are heavy drones like Ukrainian Baba Yaga and they can carry like 20 kg payload and start to invade into arty roles. Like to achieve hit against bunker you need to expend around 100 155mm HE shells with $200000 overall price tag. Or you can drop single HE pack right on top of teh bunker from 10 feet altitude and achieve the same effect but for $1000.
>>62912981I want more scrawny middle-aged balding wearing slightly oversized suits presenting and handling heavy ordinance in a autistic way during these demonstrations.
>>62913004>plays game non stop from morning to dawn>bound to get that 1/10000 hit>edits so it looks like he gets it 100% of the timethis guy is a scam
>>62913036because you retards buy it
>>62913036Because secret to US wealth is overpricing everything ridiculously. And then later just bump the salaries up to new realities because printing money is free when it's not tied to anything. That way GDP keeps growing regardless of productivity. And since you aren't the only country in the world you can buy shit for cheap from someone who didn't snowball their imaginary value yet.
>>62913050You meant to say>like me.
>>62913078it also depends where you are and what the weather's like cause you're looking for a thermal delta versus the surrounding environment. with current year gooktech sensors uncooled is probably "good enough" for hunting norks and ziggers in temperate climes, but maybe not for retard adventures in deserts and jungles
>>62913289The overwhelmingly huge majority of drones fail (EW mainly).
>>62912981As a logistics guy I already hate it just by it's fucking volume.
looks droopy
>>62913184you are a retard shill
>>62913050Thermals measure temperature difference between the sensor and the object. The bigger the difference the clearer the object. So if your sensor is very cold everything else is much hotter by comparison allowing the sensor to pick up heat signature from much further away. Also if an object has nearly the same temperature as the sensor it would be harder for the sensor to pick up it's heat signature. HOWEVER Technology now is much more advanced than back in the 90s and the programs that are used to identify and lock on a target are far more advanced as well as the sensor themselves are much more sensitive being able to follow signatures very precisely which likely means that there is not so much of a need for an item to have a large temperature difference with the sensor to be easily locked. So cooling these days is not really needed anymore, at least not at the MAX range of this weapon. Cooling has its disadvantages too: more weight, more costs, uses a lot of battery power, needs quite a bit of time to be used after turning on as the sensor need to reach a stable cooled temperature and it is an extra component that can potentially fail. So today cooling is likely not necessary at 3-4km ranges as it can be replaced by better target recognition programs and better sensors that can recognize and lock a target even if the heat signature is more blended in the background or much closer to the sensor own temperature. Cooling would likely only be necessary at much longer distances these days.
>>62914195>Thermals measure temperature difference between the sensor and the object.No. Thermals measure the varying levels of infrared radiation coming from different parts of the scene.Cooling the sensor reduces signal noise, increasing sensitivity and resolution.
>>62913074If it is designed by zoomers who don't know shit about combat environment, I'd rather stick with the older version.
>>62914304Zoomers aren't even 25 yet they haven't designed shit, what kind of boomer neverserved simplicity posting is this >captcha: HAATO
>>62913389Just say you are a retard who has never watched him or listened to him explain how he knows what the places are so easily and we can move on.We just had a championship where people even better than Rain did this live
>>62913011pg7 projectiles dont have as much penetration as javelins which use tandem rockets, and tandem pg7vr have a reputation for breaking the first segment off upon impact
>>62913627Actual worst economics take on /k/ for the entire week.
What the hell does "Alheda" even mean?
>>62913011Drones are soiRockets are rad
>>62915722Iranbro you are gonna wanna rethink this
>>62913841The overwhelmingly huge majority of fire and forget ATGMs fail because of cope cages.
>>62913019It's cheaper and does roughly the same thingGucci gear doesn't win wars
>>62912981Question, why does this pic look shopped?
>>62917058No they don't.
>>62917066The way the launcher interacts with his head.
>>62913389He knows roads and cities, which is why he will never conquer Canada.
>>62917066It had strong depth of field (sharpness/focus) and it later got the jpg artifact treatment. Hence why the front of the launcher looks shopped in front of the man, but the back still seems okay. Don't be Hank Hill, save in png.
>>62913036It's the export price, not the production cost
>>62917149Yes they did.
I THINK ATGMS SUCK
>>62913228The only "bad" guy is the guy at the bottom and even then the girl kinda asked for itThe guy on the left paid for sex while the guy on the top right is in a wholesome hentai story
