How is the use of air defence guns impacted by the increasing drone threat and why is fragmentation ammunition considered key
Examine the resurgence of air defence guns due to drone threats and the importance of fragmentation ammunition in countering such threats.
- Air defence guns are becoming more important in countering drone threats due to the proliferation of drones in both military and civilian sectors.
- The ability of drones to carry out reconnaissance, surveillance, and even carry explosives poses a significant threat to infrastructures and assets.
- The accuracy and high rate of fire of air defence guns make them effective in engaging drones that are flying at low altitudes and slow speeds.
- Fragmentation ammunition is considered key in countering drone threats as it releases multiple projectiles upon detonation, increasing the probability of hitting the target.
- Fragmentation rounds are effective in destroying drones due to their ability to create a large area of shrapnel, increasing the chances of hitting the relatively small and agile targets.
