Slovenian firm arms drone killer systems with Gatling gun

Slovenian manufacturer Valhalla Turrets has unveiled a proposed Skythunder counter-drone configuration combining a 20 mm M197 three-barrel Gatling cannon with 70 mm laser-guided rockets. Company renderings show the turret fitted to an Oshkosh Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles 6×6 truck, supported by radar intended to provide 360-degree target detection and tracking. The cannon is intended for close-range kinetic engagements, while the rockets would provide a separate weapon option against more distant targets. Valhalla described this variant as forthcoming, so the images do not establish that a prototype has completed firing trials or entered service.
