The American's tried to develop a similar system to this and pored a huge boat-full of money into the project and it was a abject failure. To this day we have nothing like this system.
chieftain I will test your knowledge here.
do you know what system this was?

I think the US had a project to put a Phalanx CIWS system onto some sort of armored platform (like a Bradley or something) but they stopped because of the improvements that were being made to surface to air missile systems like the Stinger or Javelin.
Love this stuff Cheiftain, keep up the great work!

Sergeant York. I put a photo of the interior of one which I came across in Anniston up on my Facebook feed some time ago.

It's kinda obvious manually sighting it would be enormously difficult compared to using the radar

I mean to answer this one sooner. I'm not quite familiar with a GAU-8 armed SPAAG that was supposed to be part of the requirement that the DIVAD was for. There was, however, the USAF's Air Force Mobile Weapon's System which was a concept for an M113 armed with a GAU-8 as well as Stingers. It also was supposed to use the same Ammunition handling system as the A-10.

This thing went through some "in-house" mods with the Egyptians and Syrians which mounted some SA-7 IR missiles to the Gun Dish radar. The replacement to this was the 2S6 Tunguska with 4x30mm and 4x SA-19 IR missiles and the upgraded radar. Even newer is the Pantsir S1 with the same 4x 30mm and 4x SA-22 IR missiles. As a helicopter guy, these things scare the living crap out of us and warrant a Tomahawk if seen.
All unclass by the way.
