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.
