This is becuase OFB wasn't able to change the feeder mechanism of the naval AK-630.
Why?? what's wrong with the position??
central barrel is longer than the couple of barrels on both side..
I'm fine if this thing works and IA is serious about procuring it. This along with L-70 gun on IMPV can do the role.
Which system sir ji?
quick question, isn't perforation supposed to be harder than penetration? Since for perforation, the projectile has to penetrate the whole armour?
thats another pet peeve of mine. a single barrel 40mm was too slow by late WWII standards. the americans developed twin and quad mounts. the Brits made OCTUPLE 40mm mounts.
Arre ChaCha, they are not barrels.
Too bulky for ground vehicles.
a double barreled one wont be. Doesnt have to be quad with modern FCR.
let me explain why i keep making fun of this thing.
Yeah, that's true. With staggered firing pattern, an acceptably fast rate of fire should be achievable.
something close to 500, 550 RPM in tests by US companies. 500 40mm air bursting rounds? Show me which drone or missile can survive that
The Sudarshan can reportedly fire at a rate of 300 rpm, so a twin barrel should give 600, which is more than enough for defending against drone swarms and cruise missiles, but against a barrage of incoming 155mm artillery shells or MLRS rockets, this will struggle, even if a twin barrel configuration is employed, or at least, that's my understanding of it.
For MLRS and arty, you need many systems, deployed in a spread out area to ensure both maximum coverage and to prevent a freakish strike wiping out your AD.
Absolutely, but don't you think a gatling gun based CIWS system would be a better fit for the job??
A tracked Self Propelled gatling gun - something like the M163.
