there's a thing where the same gun that's used today in Russian naval armaments caused endless problems for the MiG-27

I can't wait

Railguns man.

and it's all about air superiority

"The main feature of the Warthog is its main gun," Kotz recalled. "The aircraft is literally built around its huge seven-barrel Gatling-type cannon, capable of piercing enemy tanks with its 30-mm armor-piercing or high-explosive rounds, each weighing nearly half-a-kilogram. Even a short burst is enough to destroy a column of tanks with a series of hits to their turret armor. In addition, the aircraft carries guided or unguided rockets, bombs and underwing guns."

@AstroTorch They can fly with one engine. The only aircraft I've known to fly with a missing wing was an Israeli f15

I can't wait to see what goes on

110km of effective range

Same with Laser technology

And that was because it was landing at damn near cruise speed

Laser weapons are mostly a meme

no they aren't

are you mental

The HELLADS weapon is absolutely beautiful

Lazer weapons are 100% real my dude @AstroTorch

they have limited use as point defence

They're limited as fuck

@AstroTorch not when the chinese are blinding US DoD satellites passing overhead with them lol

Ruger beat me to the punch

Well yeah

but are insanely inefficient

the blinding strobe that banned from war is one

Lockheed Martin built a laser system to burn drones out of the sky

Here is a video on The World's First Active Laser weapon

popping a missile with a laser is easier than with a gun

It's laser tech

The Russians had a prototype which blinded optical sensors

Eh, some of the newer chemical lasers c8ming off the line are absolutley horrifying, but the FEL's are mostly point defense yeah

Although guns have got really efficient at it.

But it was too expensive because of a fuckton of rubies

But they are the most effective point defense

on the other hand coil and rail guns are getting there

@MrCuttlefish 2 mins of furious wrath

HELLADS looks like it has potential for anti-air and anti-material

Found it

Isn't the iron dome built on top of missile to missile and laser defenses ?

They're going to cost a fuck ton to implement

The amazing and great thing about the Laser weapon, "The strikes are silent and invisible as lasers move literally at the speed of light"

heres another (delete it if not alllowed)

150kW on an aerial platform. Just... yikes
