KASHTAN-M anti-aircraft anti-missile system

Russian ANTY-TOMAHAWK system with artificial intellect (RenTV,Voennaya Tayna)
Narrator A.Prokopenko- military journalist, Commentator A.Zhukov - deputy comstructor
World's only system which has within one turret poweful artillery weapons, multiourpose missiles, radio-locating and optical radar.
Main constructor A.G.Shipunov.
fighting productivity and striking potential of missile-guns system is 2-4 times more effective then only with guns one.
Kashtam-M has better characteristics of both weapons than any analogies
The extremely high striking effect is achieved by:
1)module principle of construction - 1 command module (with own 3-coordinate target detection station "Pozitiv-EM1.2") and up to 6 fighting modules depending on ship class or land proteted area.
2)combination on 1 turret missile - gum weapon and integrated radar weapon controlling system allows to increase the precision of fighting by expeling mistakes caused by of ship hull deformations when weapons and weapon controlling system are disposed in different parts of ship, but this also provides guaranteed elimination of cruising and other missiles by shoting at long range by missiles and at short range by guns, and also to incrase the striking potencial of system in repulsing the massive missile attacks and air raids.
3) Use high-precise interactive targeting (pointing) artifitial intellect system with radio-locating MM-wave band channel -RLS and tv-optical target tracking (following) channel - TOS.
4)super-precise TOS allows to point the missle with less 1 meter accuracy at any altitude flying target. Missle has 5 meter blow radius
5)RLS by using millimeter-wave band with acceptable radar dimensions allows to point the missles at any altitude flying target with 2-3 meter accuracy.It achieved by 2 factors- narrow diagram of directivity and diffus-scattering of dispersing from surface in mm-wave band.
6)Cooperative signal processing of RLS and TOS with automatical chose of the optimal mode of operation also provides high jamming and noise protection of Kashtam-M than systems with only RLS or TOS controlling systems
7)using correlating-contrast signal processing of TOS with a memorization of target shape provides reliable target tracking (following) at any target background environment.
8) using 2 high shooting 30mm guns (GSh-6-30-K) with 6 barrels and 5 400 shots per min (phalanx - 4.7k) - 10 800 total, allows in compare to Goalkeeper(GAU-8/A - gun) reduce suppressing target volley duration for 3 times and reduse 1.5 times middle shooting range up to 300-500 meters, which increase the suppressing probability 1.5-2 times
9)operate and entire automatical regime
Fighting characteristics:
a) 1 Kashtan-M able to suppress 3-4 simultaneously
flying missiles, which is enough for middle tonnage ships. for lager ships which may expect high density of air- missile-raids 2 systems may be installed on each side.Same to land objects.
b)Kashtan-M surpasses by fighting productivity Crotale Naval for 1.5-2 times, Goalkeeper - 2.5-3 times.
Suppressing zone:
missiles
range - 1.5 - 10 km;
altitude 5 meter - 6 km
Guns
range 0.3 - 5 km
altitude 0 - 3 km
Reaction time 5-7 sec
Ammunition:
missiles 8/32
guns 1000
all-time, all-weather regieme
weight
without ammo 7 500 kilo
total 10 000 kilo
PS:NATO armies have no even faint resemblance to such effective guns-missiles-infrared jamming-optical&radiolocating radar systems!Thats even NATO experts confirm!

Дядька рассказывает замечательно! "Томагавк"? Типовая цель, ну и что, что 270 м/с (почти скорость звука). Такие люди - золотой фонд страны!

Russia and America... selling weapons to poorer countries so they can kill each other since 1945.

[Buuub08]

For starters look up the standard issue sidearm in the US military. Then the rocket engines that bring up your satellites into orbit. Then the AT weapons used by the US military. Then the origin of "your" tank design, gun, armor. Then look up F-35, specifically the VTOL part of it and where it was acquired from. Like 60% of your military is foreign developed. That is actually rather PATHETIC accounting that your military spending for research exceeds the rest of the world combined.

[Buuub08]

Russia doesnt even try to compete, it has nothing to compete for. Being a yank you should be the last one speaking of copying or using foreign weaponry. You obviously have no clue how much foreign stuff actually exists in your military, do you?

[Buuub08]

Russians havent been copying nothing from the US. In fact, judging by what happened in the last 20 years its the US that is actively seeking Russian weapons and even manufactures quite a lot under license (starting from AKs to rocket engines that bring your satellites into orbit). Anyone with the slightest knowledge in weaponry will tell you right away that Russians are nothing like Americans having a completely different doctrine and military structure calling for different weapons.

@USalltheway96 Well, if a heavier and mechanically more complicated gun requiring a ~2sec spin-up time seems superior to a lighter, simpler no spin-up needing gun that runs completely on its own without an external power source and hydraulics... well then you are smoking crack.

Su-25 is a lot like A-10, it has a slightly different role but is overall close. The Su-25 is smaller and lighter, but notably faster and more agile. Both aircraft have rather limited and specific use.

[USalltheway96]

@Buuub08 Everything you just said makes the GAU-8 seem superior. That's because it is superior. There's no weapons system like the A-10 anywhere in the world. Russia can try to compete, but all they're doing is just copying what the US has used for decades.

[Buuub08]

The gun on Kashtan:

GSh-30-6

Weight: 150kg

Operation: Gas

RPM: up to 6000

And interestingly its quite a bit older than the GAU-8 yet overall better in every parameter other than MV (~900m/s as opposed to ~1050m/s), but that again falls due to the shorter barrel and using gas energy for operation rather than an external power source.

[Buuub08]

@Meat21nax Well, the Kashtan-M gun is a GSh-30 mod, which is comparable to the GAU-8, and most sane people will agree that the GSh-30 is overall better.

[Buuub08]

@USalltheway96 Well the GAU-8 cant fly as its just a gun. The A-10 can fly, which is an aircraft armed with an GAU-8. And compared to other guns of the same type the GAU-8 is notably inferior. Lets compare it to lets say the GSh-30 (the gun on the Su-25 strike plane, comparable A-10)

Weight: GSh-30 - 115kg, GAU-8 - 281kg

Operation: GSh-30 - gas operated (fully mechanical, no spin-up), GAU-8 - electric (~2sec spin-up)

RPM: GSh-30 ~3000rpm, GAU-8 up to 4200rpm.
