Well in my last post it showed how easy it was to bring down drones with a simple shotgun and you don't exactly have to be on target just close enough for a couple of pellets to do the job. I suspect I might know the type shot they'd use to maximize both range and impact. We might or might not necessarily use the same shot that is not commercially available to the public.
Now you'll see some of what's already being in combat now but, what's soon to come or is just now getting fielded.
With this "
zeal" by some to get these drones into the game, I hope this same "
zeal" is applied to defensive systems such as the
GEPHARD which has time and time again more than proved its abilities to bring these systems down and
how old is the GEPHARD?

Also, Israel has
already tested "
Iron Fist" against drones
successfully take them out to
1.2km apparently with no misses with "
360 degree" protection. More on that later.
OK,
TROPHY has also been tested successfully to within the limitations of the system but unlike "
Iron Fist"
TROPHY is limited by the fact the launchers/actuators are set to a
55-degree angle however after that testing I'm sure you all have figured out that they are already looking to modify and improve that situation. But as above more on that later when I can post those refs.
Germany has one also, another APS system that's proven very successful against drones etc. as well.
It
might also affect how many shots a unit gets based on watching the German video. How many of us have experienced multiple shots from anti-tank units in the same turn?

Pat
