>'m honestly suprised a few hundred bofors batteries with proxy-fuzed shells hasn't been sent to Ukraine yet.
Ok, then what am I hearing/seeing during shahed attacks in kyiv?
A lot of anti-drone AA here is of one of another kind of "gun"
- occasional machnegun/ak fire here and there - automatic gunfire that sounds "flat" and "tinny"
- something significantly heavier than a machnegun, still full auto but it's slow enough that you distinctly hear each shot, and they sound much more...substantial. it's ammo is with tracers, and there is proximity/timed fuse(or simply a self-destruct feature) - when those things fire, you see shells explode almost simultaneously in small area of the sky(visible even in daylight), awfully loud too especially when they do it directly above your commieblock. there's a lot of those installations - I can see only a small portion of the sky above left bank part of the city, and there's like six or seven locations from which those things fire in my direct view. I of course might be mistaken, but it seems like bofors of some kind to me.
- rarely there's what I assume a gepard firing(never seen it, only heard) - sounds almost as meaty as previous thing, but it fires even more rapidly than a machnegun, a roaring, dense burst or two with a duration of ~two seconds and thats it for the night.
