Will strike drones bring back large numbers of antiaircraft guns on modern warships?
Short answerShips may add a few close-in mounts, such as increasing one gun system to two or three.
NotesStrike drones could lead ships to carry a few more close-in gun systems. The example increases a single mount to two or three, with little expectation of a more extensive change. The gun eventually identified is the Oerlikon Millennium 35 mm system. The 57 mm reference belongs to the Bofors system, after the initial confusion between them is corrected.
