I have a feeling that the 30mm Bushmaster chaingun with air-burst rounds is being severely underutilized.

Not only is it clearly an effective anti-drone weapon, I have to imagine that its an effective anti-trench weapon as well. Small enough to transport in an F150 standard pickup truck, it seems like a gun that will solve a lot of these problems in Ukraine.

I know that gun exists because I like browsing weapon systems on Youtube :-). I hope we're giving it to Ukraine.



Targeting is the main issue. At least on the Bradley there's no A2A mode as far as I know.

Rheinmetall has some pretty nice kit in the Skyranger/Skyshield systems, but since they're Swiss, they're going to have trouble selling them.
