¿Es buena idea usar un cañón con munición AHEAD para derribar un misil tipo proteger a los cisterna y aviones de mando con drones con cañones de 35mm?

¿Algo asi?

Me suena a algo similar a la munición MILANO (maniobrable) del OTO MELARA de 76 mm.

Egypt has signed a contract to purchase seven batteries of the IRIS-T SLM and recently 10 more batteries were purchased of the IRIS-T SLX Long-range GBAD system

The acquisition of IRIS-T SL GBAD Family will improve the Egyptian air defense capabilities by having a layered and integrated air defense network through which those GBAD systems will form a layered coverage against any aerial threats within different ranges/altitudes.

A cuánto sale por disparo?

A partir de 400k me temo. Como para un ataque de saturacion y roto de bolsillos.

Es que los misiles AA convencionales estaban pensados para bajar blancos más caros que ellos. La ecuación ya sale a deber

Primer disparo real de StormBreaker por una unidad operativa

The 391st Fighter Squadron became the first operational unit to use the GBU-53/B, the Air Force’s new small diameter bomb known as StormBreaker, Nov. 2.
Four F-15Es from the 366th Fighter Wing had the opportunity to employ this new capability

The evaluation involved multiple aircraft targeting and engaging four ground-based vehicles with four of StormBreakers. Despite all of the vehicles being moving targets and this being a relatively new munition, all four were successfully hit.

The StormBreaker measures at 69 inches long, 6-7 inches in diameter, weighs 204 pounds and carries a 105 pound warhead. By using a combination of millimeter wave active radar homing, semi-active laser guidance, infrared homing, GPS coupled inertial guidance and data-link, the bomb is proven to strike stationary targets at 69 miles and moving targets at 45 miles.

According to Capt. Kyle “Scrap” Holifield, 391st Fighter Squadron, Chief of Weapons and Tactics, the integrated connectivity of the new bomb is one of its greatest assets, allowing it to be launched and then, if needed, redirected by the aircrew toward a new target while in transit. “I love that it can get on link,”
“The new small diameter bomb provides F-15E’s with new and complimentary capabilities,” said Holifield. “It is not a replacement for other bombs.”

Because of the small size of these new munitions, the F-15E Strike Eagle can carry up to 28 GBU-53/Bs.

However, there was additional coordination and planning required to employ the new bomb. Due to increased capabilities of this munition, the bomb and the aircraft are able to communicate with each other, which requires intelligence airmen to load encrypted communication information into the bomb’s computer.

While the GBU-53/B is currently only approved for integration on the Strike Eagle, results will also support the employment of StormBreaker by joint capabilities with the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and eventually fifth generation platforms such as the F-35.

Rapid Dragon’s first live fire test of a Palletized Weapon System deployed from a cargo aircraft destroys target
Dec. 16, 2021

successfully completed its final flight test December 16... The flight test capstoned a 2-year series and culminated in a live fire of a current inventory cruise missile armed with a live warhead.
During the December test, an MC-130J flown by an Air Force Special Operations Command operational flight crew, received new targeting data while in flight which was then routed to the cruise missile flight test vehicle (FTV). The aircraft agnostic Battle Management System’s inflight receipt and upload of the new targeting data into the FTV was a first-time achievement with a live cruise missile.

Once inside the drop zone over the Gulf of Mexico, the MC-130J aircrew airdropped a four-cell Rapid Dragon deployment system containing the FTV and three mass simulants, which were sequentially released from the palletized deployment box while under parachute. Safe separation from the deployment box and weapon deconfliction was demonstrated using an unconventional deployment method (nose-down vertical orientation). Immediately after the vertical release, the FTV deployed its wings and tail, achieved aerodynamic control, ignited its engine, performed a powered pull-up maneuver, and proceeded toward its newly assigned target. The cruise missile successfully destroyed its target upon impact.
