That's great on a ship but eats shit with ground clutter and sub 1km engagement ranges with multiple targets. Again, great on a ship. The Army did a bunch of different testing on this recently.

Wouldn't really improve things. CIWS is just best for a different threat model. We're moving into the "waves of drones with orchestration" phase and expensive directional systems won't survive that, and cost on the

Your drone needs to be cheaper than what you're killing, so if your target profile is 50k+ USD and up, a $10000 even is fine (not that it would need to be even 10k).

A CIWS can only fire at one direction at a time, so 2+1 drones has an extremely high chance of taking it out for around $2500 or less. CIWS is multiple magnitudes more expensive. Also can't use CIWS near troops and fpvs. P1-SUN and equ

I'm not sure what your precise argument is to be honest, it seems to be all over the place. All I know is Russia has over a million dead troops, a dying economy, and fuck all to show for it. They got to Kyiv and did nothing. Their plan
