MAF has cruise missiles?
-
Came across the following article... seems to suggest that MAF has cruise missiles for its Astros II launchers...
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/brazil/avmt-300.htm
tried doing an online search and realised that this is not a new topic. there is an archive on a similar topic at sgforums, and people even talked about malaysia possibly funding the development of this missile!
anybody has an opinion on this? comments with links to articles would be much appreciated

they dont use it as a cruise missile platform...the Astros II is geared to a more rocket artillery role for the malaysian armyOriginally posted by simplypooh:Came across the following article... seems to suggest that MAF has cruise missiles for its Astros II launchers...

actually...anything with a radar signature can be shot down...Originally posted by beavan:we can't shoot down rockets right?what about cruise missles?
but imagine this...a rocket artillery system like the astros fires a barrage of more than 10-20 rockets...its objective is to saturate the target area....anywaes...it takes alot of luck to knock all of the rockets out of the sky... -
how about firing or shooting targets or ammo which is proximity fused and the impact can destroy or cause the ammo in its proximity to defuse too?[/img]

can use fletchette rounds to defeat missiles / rockets... but success rates aren't really high mi thinks...

Not sure if we have them but anti-missle/ aircraft missles like the Seawolf (very old technology. >10 yr) used on frigates can target in and destroy missles.Originally posted by Moonstriker:can use fletchette rounds to defeat missiles / rockets... but success rates aren't really high mi thinks...
British style of course.
Americans use high-speed gattling guns on their ships. -
