The 76 mm gun returns as a response to saturation attacks. The cited maximum ranges are up to 40 km for Vulcano ammunition and up to 16 km for PFF high-explosive anti-aircraft and anti-missile ammunition. Rates are given as 120 rounds per minute for Super Rapid and 85 for Compact. Repeated three-inch bursts near a drone swarm are proposed as a defensive option. Helicopters can deliver ammunition for loading aboard, offering a replenishment advantage in the comparison with vertical-launch missiles.
