@weaponswrld When shit actually hits the fan you’re going to want 100 rpg rounds over 1 infrared
Ask me how I know

The Type 01 LMAT is Japan’s 140mm fire-and-forget anti-tank missile, combining imaging infrared guidance with a tandem HEAT warhead capable of engaging modern armored vehicles. Designed for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, it allows operators to relocate immediately after launch while the missile continues tracking its target autonomously.

@weaponswrld Вначале ролика это 1134 проект, потом выпуск Муссона из 1135 проекта да вы блять заебали

@GredaGranade Interesting historical take! This post is purely about the weapons tech and the fail footage though. Soviet/Russian ASW missile-torpedoes had their own development story separate from politics.
English

@weaponswrld Ich habe den Eindruck seitdem (Balten- und Kurland-) Deutsche nicht mehr die Richtlinien der Politik in RU maßgeblich (mit)gestalten, ist da irgendwie der Wurm drin...

@BjornKjellgren Haha, the broader Soviet reliability issues are well-documented, especially toward the end. But they still had some clever engineering in ASW systems. This fail is still pretty wild to watch though 😂
English

@weaponswrld There is nothing rare about Soviet era weapons failing, hell, the whole Soviet era failed.
English

@FactPush Every military has test/training fails, this one just got caught on camera. Soviet ASW systems like the RPK-2/Metel family were actually quite advanced for their time in concept (rocket-delivered torpedo). Failures happen across all nations.
English

@bodstrup Thanks for the correction on the ship classes! The video does jump around a bit between different Soviet-era platforms. Udaloy (Project 1155) had different launcher setups than Krivak (1135). Appreciate the detail.
English

@weaponswrld First picture is from an Udaloy class (2x2 launcher), the launch is from a Krivak - you are mixing things up
English

@zmjd147416 Spot on. the concept lives on in modern systems. The Kalibr (Klub) family includes the 91R anti-submarine variant that delivers a homing torpedo. Ballistic missile + torpedo payloads are definitely a thing in several navies now for long-range ASW.
English

@weaponswrld it is actually deadly. it is now exported under klub class cruise missiles. if you have sensors to detect enemy subs far away, then that sub is done. many countries are now putting such homing torpedoes in ballistic missiles.
English

@RealAirPower1 Both honestly 😂 The systems themselves (like the RPK-2/Metel family) aren’t super common in public footage, and actual fail videos are even rarer. Makes for entertaining content though
English

@weaponswrld There is nothing rare about this weapon, it was copied from the US ASROC, from the 1950s...

120 ships attacked, 120 hit’ is a bit of an exaggeration. Russia has lost or had damaged a significant portion (roughly 20-30%) of its Black Sea combat assets over the course of the war, not all at once. The AK-630 is the final gun layer; when missiles or drones get through the outer defenses, it’s already too late for the CIWS to save the ship. Impressive Ukrainian adaptation though.
English


The AK-630 is a Russian close-in weapon system designed to defend warships from anti-ship missiles, aircraft, drones, and fast attack craft at extremely short range. Its six-barrel 30mm rotary cannon and radar-guided fire-control system deliver an immense volume of fire in the final seconds before impact.
English

@MikeP_RO Classic Black Sea sarcasm 😂 In practice it’s one layer in a layered defense. When outer sensors, SAMs, or EW fail (or get saturated), even a high-rate-of-fire gun struggles. The system has performed in exercises, but real asymmetric threats have exposed gaps.
English

The AK-630 is a last-ditch gun CIWS optimized for high-speed missiles and aircraft at very close range (4-5 km). Slow, low-profile sea drones and USVs are a completely different problem set detection and classification are the real issues for any radar-based system. Russia has taken real hits in the Black Sea, which shows the limits of any single layer when the rest of the defense is stressed or surprised.
English

@weaponswrld Completely useless against Ukraine drones with most of the Black Sea fleet at the bottom of the sea.
