"35mm Skyshield, a German rotary wing air defense system." WTF is this? "rotary wing"? The system is mostly based on Swiss technology afaik, and the autocannon in question is the 35/1000, a revolver autocannon. Nothing rotary wing - it's "revolver". The project is German, but afaik most tech is from Switzerland (Oerlikon?). It uses the 35mm AHEAD cartridge.

Btw, much of the C-RAM and M-THEL stuff won't work well against insensitive munitions. Something like this should be mentioned. Lastdingo (talk) 23:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "rotary wing" phrase is likely in reference to the vehicle the system defends - not the defence system itself. It defends "rotary wing" aircraft - ie: helicopters. Roidroid (talk) 06:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
