But you obsessed with slow cannon and
heavy big caliber

Anyway I quit and give microphone to General Dynamics

First of all mate, that is one nonsensical segway, how is 25mm cannons are in any way related to what I said in that comment? You might need to reread what I wrote there. Second, I'm not obsessed with anything, you just keep giving false information about Venom and I'm correcting it. You are the one that is obsessing over it if anything.

"Slow" cannons fire almost as fast as Venom with higher exit velocity, cannons themselves are not heavier even though the turret is. You are right about the bullets but 25 mm being bigger would just allow it to pack more fragments. And you do not need to send hundreds of bullets when you are using airburst rounds, even the slowest of the cannons Aselsan mentions fires over 100 bullets per minute. If a gunner cannot hit a drone with 100 airburst rounds a minute then they should be demoted to peeling potatos and nothing else.

Venom would work just as well, I never said it wouldn't, except there is no way in fucking hell Unirobitcs turret is as good as Aselsan's Sarp. If we are to trust the lives of our soldiers and our investments in our equipment to one company, I'd choose Aselsan over Unirobotics every day of the week.

Also, the gun you're simping for was made by Brits, so, maybe they do know something.

Here is the solution from ASELSAN.

Here is the solution from ASELSAN.

Just as important as developing such systems is their effectiveness in the field. To ensure their effectiveness in the field, the effectiveness of detection sensors in challenging weather and terrain conditions, and the thorough training provided to soldiers to use them effectively, are crucial.

If soldiers don't know how to use these systems, whether automatic or manual, against drones, they will not be effective. Instead of training a single soldier in a unit, we should train multiple soldiers to use the system to ensure unit security.

The effectiveness of our engineers is as crucial as the organized management of the soldiers within the unit.

Not a batch, "A" tank. It's symbolic, for ceremony purposes I'm guessing.

Pretty detailed video from Roketsan on Altay's armor

What's with that angular front part? Current Altay doesn't have such a armor piece as far as i'm aware? For T2/T3 maybe?

I’m confused myself. If that sloped structure is supposed to deflect the shot, it didn’t because The round clearly penetrated through. Was it maybe intended to absorb the energy rather than stopping it?

its not sloped to deflect but to increase its effective thickness most apfds round don't deflect. Absorb and slow down the projectile also hollow for heat warheads

 

[Pokemonte13]

They are at least at 10 serial vehicle

How many tanks were delivered today?

That I know but I don’t understand is did it penetrate the armor plate cube behind it? engineers were happy with the result but from the video I can’t tell whether the round penetrate the cube.

1 tank was delivered today. Just 1. They are going to deliver 11 next year.
