HKA recent study published in the Chinese peer-reviewed journal 'Command Control & Simulation' suggests that large-calibre naval guns, such as those planned for the Trump-class warships, could play a significant role in countering drone swarms. The research, conducted by scientists from the People’s Liberation Army’s Dalian Naval Academy, highlights the potential of prefabricated-fragment shells to create destructive fragment clouds against multiple targets. The Trump-class warships, part of President Donald Trump's 'Golden Fleet' initiative, feature extensive missile systems and nine large naval guns alongside electromagnetic weapons. Despite the technological focus, the proposal has faced criticism, including from U.S. online commentators who mock the design as impractical and excessively costly.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the development of large-calibre naval guns as a strategic and technologically relevant advancement, aligning with China's emphasis on military innovation and counter-drone capabilities. While it acknowledges criticisms from U.S. commentators, it does not give equal weight to the讥
