The Slovenians have developed a powerful drone fighter! It's based on a dome that was tested during the war in Ukraine.

A Slovenian defense company called Valhalla Turrets has introduced a new version of its anti-aircraft system, Skythunder, designed primarily for countering drones. The system combines a powerful 20-millimeter Gatling gun capable of firing 1,500 rounds per minute, laser-guided missiles with a range of up to seven kilometers, and radar technology for detecting and tracking groups of drones. Based on the MANGART 25 turret technology tested in Ukraine, this system was developed in collaboration with Slovak defense firm DefTech. It is mounted on a six-wheeled military vehicle from the Oshkosh FMTV family, similar to those used by the U.S. HIMARS rocket system. While the inclusion of American components has raised speculation about potential involvement in U.S. defense contracts, there is currently no confirmation that Valhalla Turrets is participating in such programs.

(PHOTO and VIDEO) A Slovenian company has developed a new system to defend against drones

A Slovenian company called Valhalla Turrets has developed a new anti-drone defense system named Skythunder. The system combines a powerful 20-millimeter Gatling gun, laser-guided rockets, and advanced radar technology to detect and destroy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It was designed in response to increasing threats from drones and the need to protect critical infrastructure. The system is based on the MANGART 25 weaponized dome, which was previously sent to Ukraine for field testing. The Skythunder system uses components similar to those used by the U.S. military, such as the M197 Gatling gun found on American attack helicopters. This has raised speculation that Valhalla Turrets might target the U.S. Department of Defense market. The system is mounted on a six-wheeled military vehicle from the Oshkosh FMTV family, commonly used by the U.S. military.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a factual overview of a technological development by a Slovenian company, focusing on technical specifications and potential applications. There is no evident ideological framing, loaded language, or one-sided sourcing. The content remains neutral and descriptive.
