https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/12/2025-12-23-rheinmetall-hands-over-first-skynex-system-to-italyA massive improvement against loitering munitions and drones, able to spot targets up to 50kms and destroy them at 4. But most of all, another milestone for the increasingly intimate relationship between the italian and german defense industry.
>>64774096Who cares
Remember when Oerlikon was a Swiss company?
Because the effective range is short, it appears that this air defense system will be ineffective unless a large number of sets are deployed, but how will the countries that purchase it operate it?

>>64774096looks immobile hence easy to destroy

>>64774426if you're a good boy and take your meds helmettard mommy will give you an extra nuggie today, mkay?
>>64774395can be mounted on trucks
>>64774395>>64774578italy ordered the static variant, i guess it's because they want to protect installations such as military bases in their own territory, rather than using them on the battlefield.
>>64774585Wouldnt it just get blown up by a bunch of tomohawk missiles or something?
>>64774592What is layered air defense?
>>64774592skynex is a SHORAD, it's purposedly made for short ranged defense, cruise missiles are handled by HIMAD. you will never waste an earth-to-air intercepting missile against a toy car sized drone that also can't be seen through radars
In case you shut-ins don't read the news, Russia just delivered a drone onto the runway of an Irish airport in an attempt to unalive Zelensky, they missed by a few minutes because the plane was delayed. There is currently no good solution for situations like that, hence the interest in these "useless against MIRV" gadgetsIf you have any other questions I suggest paying attention to current events instead of just jerking off over greentext "muh castle doctrine" fantasies
>>64774592IADS goes brrrrrr
>>64774631Unknown technology suka blyat
>>64774395A forklift with a certified operator can move it around.
>>64774170the rotating cannon is still built in Switzerlandrounds are Germanfinal assembly in Italy
>>64776275>rotating cannonRevolver cannon?
>>64774288Oh hey, I've seen this one before
Do these zigger retards realize russia invested heavily in SHORAD
>>64774395>looks immobile hence easy to destroyIt's for consumer drones launched from Russian shadow fleet tankers, Italy isn't expecting to be taking ballistic missiles any time soon.
>>64774592>Wouldnt it just get blown up by a bunch of tomohawk missiles or something?It might actually be able to stop tomahawks, if it got lucky I guess.Ballistic missiles would get through but this is not a defence against ballistic missiles.Not all air defences address all aerial threats.>>64774731>Russia just delivered a drone onto the runway of an Irish airport in an attempt to unalive ZelenskyWas that actually armed?There was almost no information on it other than that it was a drone and believed to be Russian.
>>64776493Nobody expects Ethiopia to win a third time
>>64776498Supposedly skynex has shot down Kalibr, Kh-101s and, I think?, Iskander.
