Remember this ? When Russian come out with this idea, many including my self question this. Some media pundits in West ridicule that as sign of Russian desperation (well no surprises from Western mainstream media pundits).
However the war in Ukraine especially the nature of drones usage is basically unprecedented. Basically even some (more respectable) military pundits in West even admitted, that NATO forces will also taken by surprises on the level of drones usage.
Thus seems using naval gun on armoured carriers or truck has merit on the idea. Now seems even BAe take a look on the idea, and improved it. It is off course much better set.ip and more modern with better sensors support. However for me, it is basically same idea.
