Can German Skynex Air Defense Systems Prevail in Ukraine?

The Skynex is a short-range air defense system, which was introduced during the 35mm Air Defence Systems Group event in 2021. The core of this air defense system is the Oerlikon Skymaster Battle Management System, which serves as the control node. It allows for the modular integration of various sensors and effectors, tailored to meet specific mission requirements. The Skynex system features a truck-mounted version and is specifically developed with lightweight and mobile design. Therefore, the Skynet system is particularly well-suited for short- and very-short-range air defense capabilities, where guided missiles may be ineffective. The standard version of Skynex can engage various threats, including aircraft, cruise missiles, tactical drones of varying sizes, air-to-ground missiles, as well as mortars and artillery rockets, at distances up to 2.5 miles. This feature makes Skynex an optimal solution for safeguarding critical stationary assets like military and civilian infrastructures, including airfields, military bases, harbors, bridges, and nuclear power plants, against aerial attacks in diverse weather conditions, both day and night.

Folks, you have an international audience!

Would you mind bury the antiquated US measuring system and go metric?

[blacmagicwand]

I've seen a lancet destroy a geppard. How's this any different. And the outrageous cost? 😭

[bits]

Now that's proper... Probably best drone defence tool I've seen

[jonumine]

Wowowow, 182 MILLION...!?
A single kinzhal is said to be ~10mil, so this costs 18 hypersonics...??
Juicy target, ofc unless a lacet doesn't do the job first, like with the Iris.

[artiomvv]

182 million euros for just two? Damn this is expensive as hell. That's a lot for a pair of close in weapons systems. A C-Ram for example costs 4 million $.

[andreanderson]

7:35 it just dawned on me, it's like the Iron Dome in practice.

Music in the background - source? Band? Anything plz.

Without a mobile search radar / command centre then its not going to help directly with the counter offensive in supporting the front lines.

[kendee]

Only if delivered Skynex are in large numbers that covers the entire front & networked with other air defense systems ( Patriot, Iris T & NASAMS ).

[artiomvv]

Imagine buying two of these for 192 million $ and then they get destroyed by a bunch of 500$ drones with an rpg ductaped to it

[makegaminggreatagain]

The U.S has a land based variant of the Phalanx called the Centurion c-ram (counter rocket artillery missile system)
Military TV: 🧐
Also Miliary TV: In our next video we take a look at and do a side by side comparison to the German made Skynex Air Defense System and the US made Centurion C-RAM.

Sounds like someone’s making a sound effect with their mouth each time it fires. Lol

[rogeriodaconceicao]

182mil for 2x skynex That is ridiculously expensive

[anteeko]

You can shoot out artillerie rounds with this? thats crazy

[electricaviationchannelvid]

A typical fixed wing air launch optical missile range is 8-9 miles at 15000 feet...so well outside this system gun range...Helicopters like the KA-52 shoots guided missiles from ~8 km which is 3-4 miles very low level...

[bremnesen]

Military hammer: USD 5000, -. Ladder for F-16: USD 100 000, -. Insane prices for systems turning out to be defenceless.

[samiam]

'Cheecha' sound it makes just before

[hurtlocker]

but they will still have soldiers but send to the front?

[atarit]

Seems like a really good weapon vs pesky drones, but with protection radius of 2.5 miles you gotta need like 2 orders more of these systems to protect stuff in a current war. The area to defend is HUGE, the front line spans thousand of kilometers, Kiev, the most air protected capital, is 840 square kilometers. So — cool stuff, but two short-range units? Well, at least Rheinmetal can test those :)

Finally, what I had dreamed of had come true.
