    It is pretty big system, usualy used on ships. Google "phalanx" and "CIWS". It is possible to mount it on vehicle but there are beter AAA tanks aviable.

  • Quoted comment by Ticonderoga: did it get the mortar?

    Least one, you can hear at end the sound of the rounds detonating (that purring sound) and then there is bigger thump in the middle.

  • Quoted comment by noisyassassin: are the defenceless little americans happy with their new multimillion dollar defence against the big bad mortar with 2 rusty old shells? maybe if they actually left their camps and didnt hide 5km away waiting for airsupport or in a wheeled battleship, they're wldnt be any mortar squads arnd.

    I'd bemad If I ws losing the war to. Sorry noisy but you might as well go sit in your corner now. We all know your boyfriends the insurgents are using all they can to fight the US and the US is only using a bare minimum of force so wake up their buddy and quit complaining

  • stop hiding? look who is using the standoff attack weapons? exactly. ied's are used much more frequently than air support or counter artillery. you e-jihadis are retarded. go behead another barber or something.

    What goes up does come down. Not very safe if you're in an urban environment. You would potentially be killing your own soldiers and civilians miles away.

    uhhhh duh?? The gun is shooting 100% tracer rounds... hear the hundreds of popping noises before and after the loud explosion thud? tracer rounds burn up in the air (by exploding) --- they hit the ground like fireworks do... not like bullets

    You hear the popcorn sound? The rounds are self destructing after a few seconds of flight if they fail to hit the target.

    Infidels use black magic called science... Computers, radars, trajectory calculations, self destructing ammo... Its satan's work... LMAO

    Its not AAA. Its Anti rocket/anti mortar. A regular AA gun fires way to slowly to hit a mortar the size of an large orange within the few seconds it has before shi.t hits the fan...

  • mother*******sonofa*****!!!! thanks for the psyche rape Raytheon/GE/DOD/USArmy. That's got to be total demoralizing ownage to get your allah chant on, smoke some hash, shoot some mortars at the great satan and have one of those monsters rip them of the sky. How on earth can you even get the USAF to operate anywhere near one of those death machines?

  • Got two of them... you can see the two flashes as 20mm rounds impact the mortar rounds... two quick flashes right at the start.
