Throughout my deployments in Iraq the CRAM protected our FOBs and my life. I will forever be grateful!

Are you in Iraq?

@txvet7738 7 месяцев назад

In 1985 the ship i was stationed on was one of the first to be fitted with Phalanx (CIWS) . After testing it for the first time, the Captain came on the 1MC and said," that is American ingenuity at its best. The system not only shot the test drone but the cable that the drone was pulled by ,thereby sinking the drone.

But unfortunately alots of them are left in the hands of Taliban in Kabut airport and in other bases of US army in Afghanistan at the time of withdrawal of troups, I personally witnessed that in my last few days in Afghanistan 😢

Please don’t even remind me…. I can only yell at the top of lungs and seethe in anger so much. Just disgraceful waste of so many lives, so much money and time.

Early models (Class A models) were plagued by faulty feed belts that jammed and a computer system too slow to track while scan; glad the guys sorted it out to create one of the most dependable and powerful CIWS ever deployed, and certainly the most iconic! R2-D2 is what we called them, and yes, they are that damn good!

Awesome defensive systems! 😊😊😊

i have seen how these work. you see it in the episodes The Last Ship. 5 Seasons i have watched every episode and the name of the ship they use they call it Nathan James. and with that gun you call c ram. on the episodes they call it sea wiz. the main actor on the last ship is Eric Dane.

Another way of deploying the phalanx gun system is to mount then on an airship and use them to defend ships. These could be used to protect unarmed merchant ships as well as add extra protection for warships by engaging threats further out vs from the ships themselves.

Last year I spoke to a military contractor who was directly protected by one of those CRAM’s in Afghanistan. Imagine it’s 1am and you need to run to the outhouse to take a leak, while running the flir/radio alarm goes off. I was told the CRAM makes every one of your intestines vibrate, there is no way you will go to sleep that same night. You just have to deal with it and accept that it’s there to save you, even though it seems to terrorize you.

I wonder which system is better defending areas within short range. Israel’s Iron Dome vs the C-RAM.

you showed footage of sailors loading a nato seasparrow missile launcher when you were trying to show footage of them loading the RAM launcher. They're not the same thing.

Sure hope we waste trillions on equipment never needed. Like to see the C-RAM mounted in C-130 & C-117 sooner than later. 😮😮😮😊

Me thinks I will shoot my mortar over a small village at the Yankees. When the Yankees try to shoot down my mortar, those thousands of 20mm rounds will fall on the village. 😅

No, they have self-termination capabilities; they auto destruct if they don’t hit anything.
