>dedicated trucks with short range radar with 20mm airbursting autocannons from battalion HHC>20kw lasers with information fed via downlink or with short range radar as well mounted on top of MBT's drawing power from the engine>50-150kw+ lasers mounted on HEMTT trucks operating at brigade/division level>dedicated drones designed specifically to detect enemy drones to launch either kamikaze drones or missiles to destroy drone swarms acting as a picket fence or reserve in case a drone swarm manages to break through defensive bubbles>EW not only jamming RC drones but also having proper liaison officers who can immediately feed electromagnetic hotspots to fire control units to blast them with artilleryI have singlehandedly defeated the drone threat and have allowed for the reemergence of troop massing and surprise on the modern battlefield. You're welcome /k/.
>>65090450useless armchair general thread>just bring a full AA battalion for every tank you have bro, and bring AA to protect the AA bro, logistics ? Cost efficiency ? No thanks bro, lasers broI honestly prefer chink spamming
>>65090450this is just a masturbatory exercise without the bodily fluids
>>65090525>I didn't even read the postCome on anon.
>>65090450Drones would absolutely wreck in NO. The new clusterbomblets demonstrate just how wrong you are.
just bring out a good ol' boy with his shotgun and that solves all drone problems
>>65090450>20mm airbursting autocannonsTheww 20mm ammo used in M61/Phalanx/CIWS/CRAM/whatever its called today is not airbursting, smallest airbursting ammo is 35mm.Reloading those systems is a bit of a bitch, you'd have to have a seperate vehicle for carying ammo. Not impossible, could even be self driving today, but you need to have teh ammo on hand or your gun is empty after a minute.>20kw lasersDon't exist in a small enouhg package right now, als oyou have to carry capacitors. Can definitely be done, but it's something that willl be there in a few years, not tomorrow.What you could do right now is a radar or lidar guided motorized MG weapon station.>dedicated drones to counter dronesThis will happen over th next ferw years, everyone will add all kinds of drones and counter drones and UGVs carrying counter UAVs etc.>EW, proper liaison officersThis will also become standard. Ukraine is learning at an exponential rate, and they'll take alll that knowledge to NATO. NATO, in turn, will do what it does best and turn it into institionalized knowledge and procedures, thus turning the 'impossible to beat gamechanger' to the next domain that you can dominate with technology, training and doctrine.inb4 'but Rusia also learns this'Yes, they do. But they lack the insitutions and money to apply those lessons. If they could, they wouldn't be stuck in Donetsk.
>>65090450God bless you OP, but drones are still here NOW while these systems are not practiced or fielded at scale. It will take a while until all of this makes it to forces. The biggest thing I want to see is practiced use of AFVs using their existing 360 APS radars to engage with autocannon or RWS fires. This should be possible already. We will probably see the IDF in Lebanon do this first, currently they're having lot of FPV hits on Merkavas/Namers that do have APS. >>65091111> 20/short 30mm airbursting dosen't existWas true until recently with the 30x113mm XM1211 and 25x137mm XM1228. The XM1211 out of the M230LF gun can go on any vehicle you can think of while having 50+ ready rounds. > 20kw laser too bigPic related is a 20 kw laser on a JLTV. Half of that space is a generator you can drop if the vehicle already has enough auxiliary power. Probably small enough to get into a bustle or turret with the savings from an unmanned turret.
>>65091111>Theww 20mm ammo used in M61/Phalanx/CIWS/CRAM/whatever its called today is not airbursting, smallest airbursting ammo is 35mm.Its not technically "airburst", but they have a self destruct which pops them at the end of their range. But you are correct in that sensor-fused airburst becomes void below 30-35mm, due to the charge being shit in size.
>>65090450>shotgun>hooked up to AI-controlled optics and AI-controlled arm99% of drones shot down, gg no re.
