and if that wingspan is 2 meters then that pod in the midle is probly closer to 20-30 cm?
RC plane don't carry a 2kg payload, nor military grade com equipment
nor have military grade motors and engineering in them
rc planes *can* and *do* carry a 2kg payload
Which is shit if you've been anywhere near military grade equipment in your life
so indeed shooting small and fast fucker like that whats coming right at you from any angle would be nightmare
shoot it with CIWS?
^the only option^
CIWS would be overkill
And not even sure it's gonna pick it up
:DDD CIWS
(might, but not sure)
and destroy everything near behind or around it
:D
To me it's just a small gadget that looks good on specs but isn't really a viable option in a real environment
for car whats idea is to get close undetected pop drones and fuck off
the intention of CIWS is exactly not to shoot anything behind it
that thing is quite horrible infantry wise
Plus if you need any kind of precision with it (and since it only got a 2 kg payload you're not gonna use it to take down buildings I guess), you'll need some heavy coms in order to not be jammed easily
i mean with CIWS spread, and ammo size and speed you are certain to hit anything behind that thing
it's implied they are up in the sky
diving down
not flying on the horizon
when the ammo is barely smaller than drone you are trying to shoot
phalanx uses what ? 20mm tungstens
Finally, let's not forget, it's not about the chinese but about any fucking miltary industries, specs given out are only in ideal conditions
if it fired only one and it hit directly it would still make mush out of it most likely and continue its journey to anything behind it
depending on that things armor ofc what is just ?
and its not meant to be used against sea targets one would think
its more Anti infrantry light vehicles
humvess,mraps, etc
CIWS is used on land too
sure its also used on trains iirc
they shoot mortars down with it mainly
point being its not their main target : locations with such
mortar shells are smaller than this drone's body
but I understand CIWS is not very practical to carry with infantry, yeah
what is sad tho is that they dont (understandably) tell operating range
We can guesstimate that it's not gonna be any better than the other drones they announced
also the fact that the thing is literally a flying bomb, you just need to hit the body once
