Is it issues detecting and tracking? Seems like radar guided gun systems should shred shaheeds but perhaps I’m missing something.

I can see the difficulties tracking quad copter / fpv drones… anyone have insight?

    It’s simply a numbers game. Gepards are very effective against Shaheds but they only have a range of a few kilometres. You’d need hundreds to protect a major city. Those numbers just don’t exist.

      Valid. I wonder if we’ll see distributed networks of radars capable of detecting smaller targets at longer ranges…
