We can all agree that anti-aircraft gun is objectively the most useless type of air defense weapon.AA gun is useless against FPV drone because FVP drone is both too small and too maneuverable to be hit by kinetic projectile. FPV drone will effortlessly dodge every single kinetic projectile fired by AA gun since an FPV drone can pull off 10G evasive acceleration along all flight axis.Against Shahed drone or cruise missile, AA gun can only hit them if they fly at a predictable straight line at low speed at low altitude. On the other hand, MANPADS such as Stinger and Igla can do the same job as AA gun but way better because MANPADS can shoot down Shahed or cruise missile from significantly longer effective range with significantly higher accuracy than AA gun.AA gun is completely useless against RAM (rocket, artillery, mortar) target because RAM target is both smaller and significantly faster than cruise missile. It's practically impossible for AA gun to hit something as small and fast as RAM target.AA gun is completely useless at hitting fighter aircraft and helicopter because both of them typically fly at altitude way higher than the effective range of AA gun. None of the kinetic projectiles fired by AA gun will be able to even touch fighter aircraft and helicopter.
>>64212942There are more aircraft to defend against than drones. You have tunnel vision on the most recent thing.
No, I cannot agree with this statement.
no, you are just wrong. also google proximity fuses, they'd work against drones just fine.
>AA gun is useless against FPV drone because FVP drone is both too small and too maneuverable to be hit by kinetic projectile. FPV drone will effortlessly dodge every single kinetic projectile fired by AA gun since an FPV drone can pull off 10G evasive acceleration along all flight axisAirburst shells solve this. And they can be as small as 25mm, check Nexter's catalogue>Against Shahed drone or cruise missile, AA gun can only hit them if they fly at a predictable straight line at low speed at low altitude. On the other hand, MANPADS such as Stinger and Igla can do the same job as AA gun but way better because MANPADS can shoot down Shahed or cruise missile from significantly longer effective range with significantly higher accuracy than AA gun.It works well as the last layer of defensePlus, judging by Syrians ZSUs, these things are very good at shredding meaties
>>64212942
>>64212942>FPV drone will effortlessly dodge every single kinetic projectile fired by AA gun since an FPV drone can pull off 10G evasive acceleration along all flight axis.Drones travel in straight lines with almost no evasive actionAnd AA guns were originally intended to hit helos making evasive maneuvers or jets travelling at close to transonic speeds
Can MANPADS lock onto targets at night or under low cloud cover?

>>64212962>>64212978Each airburst shell costs like 10x more than an FPV drone, and because airburst shell is unguided unlike a missile, an AA gun needs to shoot like 100 rounds of airburst shells just to hit an FPV drone that unrealistically hovers at stationary position. Last I checked, an FPV drone typically costs $500, so an AA gun needs to shoot $500000 total worth of ammunition just to hit an FPV drone hovering at stationary position. As you can see, AA gun is economically inefficient at shooting down FPV drone.Also, FPV drone can effortlessly dodge airburst shells before they can release their fragments. In real life, an FPV drone will never hover at stationary position.>>64212978You don't need AA gun as last line of defense if you have enough missiles. For the price of one AA gun, you can buy 50 extra missiles.
>>64213245>muh costsRetarded reasoning and fundamental misunderstanding of the economics of air defense
>>64212998Good luck trying to hit an FPV drone when it can evade in XYZ axis with this level of acceleration: https://youtube.com/shorts/wYbjhiQrFEw?feature=shared
>>64212983>>64213018You do realize only brown and black people use something as stupid as AA gun right?White people exclusively use laser and missile for air defense. Only white people are smart enough to develop and use laser to replace AA gun.Laser BTFO AA gun in air defense role.
>>64213016If MANPADS can't lock onto targets at night then AA gun also can't do the same lmao.AA gun also can't hit an air target that's hidden by low cloud cover lmao.
>>64213255it would be a cool sport to see people shoot these with shotguns like extreme version of sporting clays
>>64213254>Ignoring the objective importance of economic in warfareYou are the same type of brown people who believe shooting down a $500 FPV drone with $1000000 Patriot missile is economically justifiable.
>>64213277FPV drone dodges shotgun shell
>>64213278Patriot missiles are for long range area defense, not SHORAD or VSHORAD, where $500 FPVs would be encountered. Maybe you should learn a bit more about Air Defense before talking out of your ass.
>>64212942No, you are a wrong faggot. With my ZSU-37-2 in war thunder I can consistently shoot down maneuvering drones.
>>64213172You're freaking out for no reason. Look at you.
>>64213245>Each airburst shell costs like 10x more than an FPV drone> needs to shoot like 100 rounds of airburst shells just to hit an FPV dronesource?
>>64213283So you are aware that shooting down FPV drone with Patriot missile is economically inefficient, but you also think an AA gun shooting $500000 total worth of airburst shells to take down an FPV is economically viable?You are the one that needs to learn more about the economic of air defense.AA gun is horribly economically inefficient at shooting down FPV drone given the cost of each airburst shell and the number of shells needed to take down an FPV drone.The most economically efficient ways to shoot down an FPV drone is with a drone jammer or a laser weapon, both only need a few dollars of electricity to shoot down an FPV drone.
>>64213267
disregard OP being a retard/baitpostingwhat is the advantage of building a metal box around the barrel? is it rigidity at a lower weight than just making the barrel thicker?
>>64213304Look again, the box isn't supporting the barrel. It functions as a heat shield to reduce the IR signature of the hot barrel, and supports the wiring for the electronics. See how there's a cable going into the muzzle device? That's a programmer for the airburst rounds. If it was hose clamped the barrel all the way down, it would melt.

>>64213765100 rounds at minimum are needed for an AA gun to hit a stationary FPV drone. The video literally proved that.Also, it's literally impossible for an AA gun to hit an FPV drone that is actively evading, which is why these companies never publish any footages of their AA guns being tested against evasive FPV drone. Because they knew their AA guns are useless against FPV drone that doesn't hover at stationary position like a retard.

Most drones will fly straight in the air to their target, with at best singular turns for their terminal attack vector.
>>64213778A DJI Mini 2 has a range of 4km without any payload, is suspectible to the most basic and widely used jamming methods amd is incapable of doing any damage.
>>64213794If you already have jammer then you literally don't need AA gun in the first place.Jammer can do the same anti-drone job as AA gun but significantly cheaper.

>>64213785>incorrect. Further, an FPV drone capable of complex evasive maneuvers is incapable of dealing any worthwile damage.FPV drone can effortlessly evade every single airburst shell while carrying an RPG warhead.

>>64213801MANPADS is more cost effective at shooting down Shahed than AA gun. MANPADS has higher accuracy and longer range than AA gun. Only one missile is needed to shoot down one Shahed compared to 1000 rounds of airburst shells. Cost of 1000 airburst shells > cost of one missile.Also, Shahed is programmed to evade airburst shells AA gun can't hit anything that is evasive.

The drone can only complicate its maneuvering to make itself a harder target, not reactively evade. that, by definition, is not effortless.also, no, it cannot do those maneuvers in an effective manner while carrying an rpg warhead.

>>64215206>op still crying in broken englishjust take the L m8
>>64213778DJI Mini are not bought off the shelf and made into FPV drones. They're bought and then modified because off the shelf drones are all jammed. So you need to put stuff in and fiddle with stuff to get it to work. Ignoring the payload costs as well. For every video you see of a drone hitting a BMP there are a hundred drones that never got there. Ignoring the inherent problem of mass drones anyway (bandwidth shit and traffic) if the solution was to 'fill the skies with drones' they'd do it. In the Ukraine War, each side has maybe 3-6 drone operators per AOO as any more and you end up with issues. This idea of 'just fill the skies bros drones are the answer bro' requires incredibly expensive and sophisticated things (requiring bandwidth bouncing and self-communicating stuff) so we're left with the situation where you have maybe six guys on each side throwing six drones at each other per wave. Go look up Spiderweb. They were done in waves because otherwise things would go to fuck (and two trucks exploded due to these issues).
>>64213278Only brown people think this kind of cost analysis matter because they're from poor countries that can't afford it.We will spend 1 million for every 1000 and still have money left over.

>>64222876>But far less than waht the drones are trying to destroy and completely mitigates the threat.NTA but I think your post kind of misses the point. Unless you extract greater value from the things the AA are defending than the cost delta for defending them through their subsequent use, then it is still a losing exchange. It's by no means a given that its reasonable to expect to be able do that for all equipment over all spans of time.Having said that, all of the numbers in his post are wildly wrong in the direction that favors his argument, and the real cost delta is way smaller. But: The general notion that an expendible defence that is far more expensive than the thing it counters is not a reasonable solution for any realistic mass or time scale, let alone a "complete mitigation" of the threat, is correct in any case where the defender can't afford to outspend the attacker by a very large amount.
>>64213245No fucking way a small shell fuse with acceleration-resistant eletronics is more complex than optics, guidance, communication, motors, battery, optic fiber spool, payload and etc.of a droneWith all else being equal a drone is more expensive than its countermeasure
>>64224092>No fucking way a small shell fuse with acceleration-resistant eletronics is more complex than opticsOf course it's not.But on ammunition production you pay military tape boomer tax.

>>64216040fpvs can fly at cat height level. they will rip apart your AA gun without the AA gun ever knowing what even hit them. these flak guns are a counter to lancet type drones but not fpvs.
>>64218908>I stopped reading here.good luck hitting a basketball sized object that flies at ground level and approaches you behind cover. you are delusional beyond comprehension.
>>64225972>>64226023and we are only at the beginning of the evolution of fpv drones in combat. future fpv drones will be fully autonomous AI guided drones, potentially dropped into a target area by a missile or larger carrier drone. AA will again be behind the curve and totally befuddled.
>>64226023>detects your retarded toy with an array of /cameras feeding into a machine vision algorithm/LIDAR/RADAR/microphone sensors>calculates a firing solution and points a low power aliexpress-tier laser at it, melting its camera sensor>The AA gun automatically takes care of the restits a matter of time, dronecuck
>>64225972>>64226023
>>64213245>Each airburst shell costs like 10x more than an FPV droneMore like a thousand airburst shells cost less than an FPV drone. Also, irrelevant. What's relevant is the cost of whatever that FPV drone would hit if it wasn't eradicated by an airburst shell.
>>64225972AA guns can exterminate drones flying at ground level. They will rip apart your FPVs without the FPV ever knowing what hit it. These flak guns are a counter to anything and everything airborne that enters their range.>>64226023Why would a trivial challenge like that require any luck? This isn't WWII anymore, AA guns these days have fire-control well beyond the crew trying to eyeball it.>>64226043We ar eonly at the beginn ing of the evolution of AA guns in combat. Futujre AA guns will be fully autonomous AI-guided weapons, potentially rendering any and all kind of airpower or drone utterly obsolete. Drones will again be behind the curve and totally befuddled. Droneshills will, as ever, be coping and seething.
>>64226061>>detects your retarded toy with an array of /cameras feeding into a machine vision algorithm/LIDAR/RADAR/microphone sensorswhere are these cameras? ukraine already has the skyranger gun in combat use, have they downed a single fpv with it? you know the answer.
>>64212942Yea, you're really unterestimating the effectivenes of timed fuses and shrapnel rounds.>>64212944...then AA guns would be completely useless, since modern planes will never get into range. Not even helicopters will.AA guns were obsolete until drones turned up and gave them a target again.
>>64212942The Sky Ranger fires 30mm grenades that explode and take a drone out. They're also much faster than a drone is.
>>64216213Americans do it too, Pidor
>>64224807Shoud have put it on something lighter, simple and cheaper. SHORAD assets goin to be in demand and pricing for a fancy tracked armored vehicle will probably go overboard
>>64213833The gunner's name? The Pidor of Kiev
>>64227008The turret is modular, can be mounted on a truck bed or stationary concrete foundation.
>>64225972>fpvs can fly at cat height levelFirst: small fpvs are a bitch to control manually under tree level, good way to lose your fpvs in a bush(or to a cat given your video)Second: AA gun can detect fpvs at any height, so long as you have direct line of sight.Third: don't expect your enemy to cooperate with the creation of your perfect battlefield, giving you an obvious blind spot to exploit.You'll be like>I'm a genius! I will fly my low drone right up to this turret!>oh no! It is physically impossible to not enter its field of vision and be shot in seconds!>>64226043>future fpv drones will be fully autonomous AI guided dronesBy that level of technology anti-fpvs turret will also be autonomous with AI targeting that won't be fooled by disguising your drones as a bird or other shitAssuming we didn't reach a level high enough for walking robot to patrol, sniping anything humanoid & drones, while surviving small arms. The only reason to not send a flying-turret being solely a matter of how fast it can detect threat through cheaper drone.It's hilarious how our modern war end up looking like retro-cyberpunk.
>>64226189Ukraine are not given enough weapons to have them where needed. Stopping Shahed from hitting infrastructure take priority over holding the lines.Blame the POTUS played like a trumpet by Putin.
>>64228624Yeah, blame America because Ukraine doesn't have enough German AAA systems
>>64228634Isn't Rheinmetall Air Defence still Swiss?
