yeah, but the subprojectiles aren’t. I ain’t a weapons guy, so idk what the practical effect of getting hit with thousands of tiny tungsten balls moving at supersonic speeds would be, but I’m guessing it ain’t pretty for a jet either. I guess the question is, can it hit targets moving that fast?
the fact they’re using them against cruise missiles would suggest yes, but since they have so few of them I imagine they won’t be deployed close enough to the front to encounter manned Russian aircraft. so we might not get to find out.
It’s 35mm, it shouldn’t take many hits to bring down pretty much anything.

Oh ok, I hadn’t seen the detail of how the
dhellsshells worked.
