Sparrows aside, it's China falling for Lysenkoism
His moronic theories killed millions of people but on the other hand, it also killed millions of Chinese
Impressive with this most recent achievement, China has, in a single stroke, marked the decline of the west and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the Chinese dragon, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of western powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. The blessings of Chinese plasma stealth technology, undetectable hypersonic combat vehicles, quantum direct-current electricity, balloon based neutrino global submarine detectors, gamma titanium mono crystal turbines, quantum aircraft carriers, unmanned autonomous A.I. tanks, near-space ballistic air-to-air missiles, super light tanks, +2km range airburst rifles, quantum enhanced railguns, 5G Remote Surgery, magnetized plasma cannons, and quantum superalloy drones will be the instruments with which China affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-western world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Western leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.
no, that's video game logic. it would take a two-second burst with a machine gun or a stray mortar shell to put the turret permanently out of action
and even if you armored the gun system, it would still suck because its own muzzle flash will completely blind the gunsights, so you'd want a much lower RoF so you could actually see what you're shooting - and at that point, you might as well just save a ton of time and money, and go with a more conventional weapon.
IIRC even the MG42 was found to fire too quickly in hindsight and was given a heavier bolt to slow it down because you don't get much more operationally wrt suppression and injuries on the ground and just end up wasting a lot more ammo. This issue goes away though obviously when you're firing at targets that don't have somewhere to hide from the gun.
Yea, but these Chinese are 30/35mm bullets in a rotary cannon. Would be wasteful as frick, but it would be rad as frick.
Like post-war Terminator.
When you have only 2 seconds to stay exposed before getting shot but you really want to frick up the entire village in front of you in a 45 degree cone... it's not a waste, it's a skill issue.
This webm is hilarious because it cuts off the 2nd view of the drone where all of the airburst shells explode around it and dont do shit. Even with that edited out it still shows the muzzle flash blinding the FCS and creating false positives.
The best part is that it entered service.
Being an engineer at Norinco must be a dream because if not the PLA, the Arabs are willing to fund all your fudd wet dreams.
>Point barrel at target >Hose the target >Muh muzzle flash >Muh can't lower the RoF or muh armament
Those are all shit points, it would be a crap system because it would go through munition like crazy and life is not a videogame where ammo magically replenishes.
it is indeed meant through munitions like crazy, because it's meant to dump like a thousand round at some missile in the 5 second windows it has while the missle approaches.
When I was in the army we had something like this happen with a 35mm orlekon. Idk the specifics but 5 people kia. It was right in the middle of a live fire exercise involving an entire regiment and it got called off as a result.
Apparently it was a combination between a runaway and it's broke free of its posts (they lock the barrels in place for safety reasons)
It's a classic problem in robotics while calculating inverse kinematics and using arctangens() function to get angles for your joints. There are certain positions near zero degrees where math shits the bed and produces insane results. If you don't check for that illegal positions it will send the robot arm in haywire.

I have been wondering, do flak style guns like this even do anything in modern air combat when planes are bombing you from kilometers away, or sending missile at you from far beyond the range of any gun? Like I can see something like this working to shoot down a helicopter, but is it expected to shoot down a plane?
Their main target are drones and helicopters. Also some have tried to use them against missiles but that depends on the projectile, and arguably they also hunt low fliers like the A-10... or would if anyone actually fielded them anymore.
This is why in the west you see these systems mounted on lighter vehicles at best and IFV chassis at worst and generally being just machinegun turrets with excelent optronics and radar (or accompanied by radar anyway).
Meanwhile in non-NATO you see them in ridiculous overgrown "heavy ifv" or "light tank" type monsters ala terminator, because brownoids are idiots who think "imma do what NATO do but biggerest and betterest" somehow won't result in their already shit supply lines being strained further. That's really about it.
Google has updated their imagery of the missile base in Gansu. And it - um - it is a missile base, not a wind farm. Welp. I guess western intelligence did some soft-pedalling with the disclosure.
40.024N, 96.707E to see new-build nuclear (eighties death cult style). The additional hardened round structures are interesting. They could be a lot of things - there are couple of different types.
Perimeter security + blast berms + hardened shelters for equipment + control base + large underground structures + silo caps. Picture just shows silo caps and what I guess may be sensor revetments disguised as wind turbine base excavations. There are also a couple of barely installed wind towers for obfuscation purposes, but the obfuscation is well in the past now.
In terms of dust defense the silos are probably not up to Reagan specs. 1500 meter interspacing is 3x greater and there is no threat direction alignment. Just a silo concentration for site control purposes on suitable dry friable substrate for opportunistic dust throw height.
implessive!!
Did they copy Pantsir chip?

He's saying the machine detected a small flying bird next to it and was aiming at that
It's not just that
Sparrows were one of the animals Mao wanted to destroy in the 4 pests campaign, which is why a Chinese implement would target them.
embarrassing
Look into the Four Pests Campaign
China drove itself to starvation by exterminating a small bird that would eat bugs that eat crops
>a small bird that would eat bugs that eat crops
What species of bird predates on the Chinese?
>What species of bird predates on the Chinese?

his worst crime was not killing enough commies to be quite honest
>it also killed millions of Chinese
Maybe it would be more accurate to call it the Five Pests Campaign, because it got rid of so many chinks as well.
underrated
birds are public animals of capitalism
Brutal
Absolutely lost
God damnit Zhang, you were supposed to program it to target the Sparrow missile, not the bird.

wheeeeeeeeeeeee
try spinning, thats a good trick

Meanwhile Valery Zaluzhny was fired. Is that why you posted this?
Ivan I think you have to hold on that krokodil consumption
Again? How many times do they have to fire him until he leaves for good?
shooting 90° up and shooting below the horizon is a test of function.
Couldn't that also be used against ground targets?
I imagine one of these to defend a position against infantry would be pretty gr8, no?
no, that's video game logic. it would take a two-second burst with a machine gun or a stray mortar shell to put the turret permanently out of action

>it would still suck because its own muzzle flash will completely blind the gunsights
That's true, but still, it would be interesting to see something like this in a huge battle like Ukraine.

does it work? probably not
us it awesome? frick yea!

Well maybe it should be then.

So what you're saying is that the chinks have developed some kind of underground plane which this anti-air turret is clearly shooting at.

Twelve. No more, no less. Just twelve Uyghurs.

This fricking turbine blade though? LMAO nice one Chang
is it okay if I use this wood texture in my unity game?
What does that have to do with anything and how does that pic prove it?
Welp. Lmao.
That was my first thought too. How is that pic in any way, and I quote, "dense pack ICBM"? Looks like dense packed nothing from really far away to me.
