Modern dedicated AA gun systems claim multi-km engagement ranges against small drones, and 60 degree/second slew rates. A drone capable of beating that engagement time would be better described as a guided missile, and will certainly not cost $2500. The flaws in gun systems are in the cost required for good coverage, not their effectiveness against targets that do enter their engagement ranges.

I should re-read my lease agreement to see exactly which kinds of AA batteries I can install on my 2nd floor balcony.

That's great on a ship but eats shit with ground clutter and sub 1km engagement ranges with multiple targets.

Again, great on a ship.

The Army did a bunch of different testing on this recently.
