Australian "Antishade" Slinger will replace expensive missiles: experts told how (video)

Slinger has 30 mm automatic gun, an optical tool, a modern radar that allows to detect small air goals, and is combined with the control system. "The supply of such complexes is a very positive signal. It is known that these systems will be delivered to us in conjunction with the United States and the funds were earlier as part of the assistance issued," Valery Ryabikh said.

He specified that the small air goals of the enemy Slinger complex destroys from $ 100 to $ 1000 in the price range depending on the types of ammunition. "Valuable in this complex is that it gives the opportunity to knock hostile drones for cheap price. For example, we can now use expensive rockets worth tens, and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars, at a Shahd price of tens of thousands of dollars.

And the Slinger complex can destroy Similar goals are from $ 100 to $ 1000, depending on the types of ammunition used, which is a very good system, "the expert explained. Slinger consists of one 30mm Bushmaster M230LF gun and a 7. 62 mm mag caliber machine gun. In addition, the system has an optical-electronic device and radar.

The aiming occurs with the help of an optical-electronic complex with a nightly infrared detector (it can rotate independently of the gun) and the 4D echodyne echoguard radar, as well as the module is equipped with a wind sensor. Together with the latest ammunition of Northrop Grumman with a radio frequency approximation, according to the manufacturer's statements, the complex can accurately affect the small UAVs in one shot.

Low weight (up to 400 kg) allows you to install on light equipment, such as HMMWV or Cossack. On Tuesday, October 3, the Armed Forces spoke about the features of Australian Slinger. The Australian antitrone system has a radar binding and can be mounted on civilian pickups, which increases its mobility. We will remind, on October 2 it became known that Ukraine will receive a "killer of drones" - Slinger system.
