Redwolf Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 For these vehicles with both a gatling or an autocannon and SAM, what is the relative effectivity of the two arnaments? Is the cannon intended as a backup when running out of SAMs? Different range preference? Or different target preferences? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rame Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 The concept of putting together an AD system of combined AAA and missles has been looked at by a few countries. The US has the LAV-25 Blazer, the Ukraine 2S6M1 Tunguska, China TYPE 95 SPAAG-SAM ADS. The cannon would be a back-up of sorts, but in my opinion because the SAM missles are usually the infra-red guided type and therefore can be hindered by several counter-measures, the cannon would be used more often to saturate the airspace with lethal rounds or shrapnel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
