eh, looks funny definitly
what i’ve noticed is that these systems designed for “Lower cost” essentially just look like hobbyist equipment…
well they are designed to fight cheap with cheap, there is a reason most of that things seems to be styrofoam
styrofoam composite made to fight top gamma drones
Is it launched by a comically large tennis racket? :p

i think the german patriots are also mounted on the MAN gl 15 but that would be kinda overkill lol
If it is, I can’t imagine it coming with it’s real range. I doubt they’d jump straight to 40km when the other teased SPAA are only 12/17(hopefully)km
SLM does carry missiles with 40km of range no ?
Yup, but I can imagine it being limited to like ~28km effective range. Still a lot but since ground render distance has increased to 30km… we’ve to wait n see.

28, 30, 40 whatever, as long as it can challenge KH and top tier ATGMs
