“1/ Israel may have delivered its first weapons system to Ukraine. The ‘Smartshooter’ interception system can be installed on large drones and small aircraft, and is meant for the Shahed-136 Iranian suicide drones.

2/ We may have seen a video of a test 6 days ago.

3/ The Israeli system that operates on the principle of ‘One Shot - One Hit’. The system is operated by artificial intelligence and a system of advanced radars.

4/ Thanks to @TreasChest for finding the Debka story, and uncovering that they are sent to Ukraine through Poland, to abide by their Russian no agression pact.

5/ Here is a link to the underlying system, similar to the US “Tracking Point”.

6/ Here’s a video from the company:

7/ Iranian drones are made of plastic infused cardboard & a wooden propellers. They use a Chinese copy of a 50hp 1936 VW engine. They only cost $20,000, so AA missiles are far more expensive. ‘Smartshooter’ destroys them for the cost of a few bullets.

8/ TrackingPoint and SmartShooter don’t mechanically track targets. Instead sensors calculate distance, speed, air pressure, wind, gravity, & temperature. Then wait for random movement to shoot at the exact moment when the bullet will hit the target.”

“An Israeli anti-drone system has appeared in the combat airspace of Ukraine — the Israeli publication Debka with reference to military sources in Ukraine. According to the publication, the Ukrainian army has finished installing the advanced Israeli interception system

“Smartshooter” on light aircraft and drones with the expectation of its use against Iranian “kamikaze drones”. As previously reported, according to the Israeli publication “Times of Israel”, some Israeli company sold systems for intercepting military drones to Poland.

At the same time, according to the publication, the Ministry of Defense of Israel knew that the end user of the anti-drone system would be Ukraine, but decided not to interfere. Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s Ministry of Defense issued export licenses to

Israeli manufacturing companies that wanted to sell drone defense systems to Ukraine. But when the war started, the licenses were suspended. ** “Smartshooter”, or “Smash”, is a high-tech individual fire control system using radars, capable of recognizing, tracking and engaging

aerial (UAV) and ground targets with unparalleled accuracy. The system works on the principle of “one shot - one hit”, it is controlled by artificial intelligence. The developers of “Smartshooter” pride themselves on the fact that it accurately hits targets, and there is no

Situation when it would not hit the target. The Israeli development was first shown this year at a military exhibition in Paris, after which it was successfully tested in Hebron in September.”

This sounds like CCIP (Continuously Computing Impact Point), which is used in dive bombing GP bombs.

Thanks for the ping.
