Also if there is anything this conflict has taught us, is the Russians lie all the time about what their equis capable of. Though I'd argue many of us were calling by on Russian gear claims well before this conflict. At least we agree on the 29 vs 35 thing.

View Quote “CW” is that the drones were just surveillance and small coastal defense boats, 30’ to 40’ things. These are relatively mature systems that have been developed. But no real OSINT on what has actually been sent, or if. The navy has a lot of different USV and UUV projects at various stages. In fact, they just shut down a large UUV project - only one prototype built I think. The point is, lots of things possible, and nothing really known yet. In other naval news: IRAN JUST GOT SOME SKIN IN THE GAME. A little while ago Greece stopped a Russian tanker under the sanctions. It turned out, it was smuggling contraband Iranian oil. I can just hear Hannibal Smith saying, “I love it when a plan comes toghether!” ;). And in retaliation, today the Islamofascists of Iran hijacked two Greek tankers in international waters in the Persian Gulf. https://gcaptain.com/iran-seizes-two-greek-tankers-after-u-s-confiscates-oil-cargo/ |

12 gauge with some kind of steel load. Or maybe copper coated lead. Practicing to lead them would be pretty expensive. View Quote Not really. Many of even the loitering munitions, which are not optimized for speed and and penetration and have endurance steady state speeds of roughly 30-75 mph, still have dash speeds of anywhere from 100mph to well over 200mph. Do the math. If we're really generous and give the effective range of steel shot as 75m, even the lowest dash speed of 100mph crosses that distance in well under two seconds. Two seconds to track and effectively manually engage is pretty much fantasy against oncoming drones. And using actual average numbers cuts that in more than half. Our current radar- and computer-guided 20mm LPWS uses either 50 or 75 rounds per second (depending on what the target is), in bursts of several seconds, to score a few hits on most incoming drones. I won't share actual engagement details here for obvious reasons- but the general comparison should tell you how useless a shotgun is against all but the lamest drones. |
