Nobody is misunderstanding you Andy. It is just you have a habit of suggesting outlandish things without thinking about what you are suggesting or checking how things are done in the first place.
If you were actually following what was happening in the world and in the defense industry you would know that USAF aircraft mostly used AIM-9X missiles that day. You would also know that aircraft, at best, carry a few hundred rounds and that is enough for 5 drones at most because of the inherent dispersion. You would also know about safety hazards related to gun engagements done against much slower targets. There is a plenty of material about the trials of jet fighters against propeller driven aircraft. Also, you could just simulate the scenario in your mind. It is quite obvious even without data.
Here are some your of suggestions so far on this website:
1- Electric gun with smart ammo as CIWS. And that PLA is heading for it!

2- Floating airports in the Pacific
As an English language forum, we would be better focusing on the NATO reporting name for the new 6th Gen. Flounder/Firebird/Firefang...Firebrand? I guess Firefox is taken as well. NATO names get determined by NATO, we have no influence over that. I also think people are being a bit obsessed...

3- Orbital VLS on a barge. It is being eyed by PLAN to launch DF-26 and DF-27!!!
China's Space Program Thread II
4- Stirling engine to control reactor temperature
If you're talking about Soyru class then sure nothing can beat pure battery in noise, but why don't you mention endurance then? Again, larger sub -> more space for quieting technology -> quieter subs Again, if sterling engine is the main source of noise then SSKN will have zero noise...

5- PLARF covering PLAN vessels in the East Med by DF-27.
Does anyone know of any actual video footage of an IRBM or ICBM hitting the ground after test flight. Just curious what an impact from object descending from space at high speed would look like. Cheers men.

6- The use of the 076's catapult to launch cruise missiles
Based on the current observation, angled deck on the 076 LHD looks to be rather unlikely. In the meantime, the J-35 is essentially a twin-engine medium-weight 5th-gen carrier-based fighter. If measures have to be taken by reducing the payload and fuel capacities just so that the J-35 can be...

7- China deleting diesel generators from SSKs and using such SSKs in the middle of the Pacific. And such submarines getting charged by floating windmills
Based on what I heard from my sources, they definitely do have noise and completely isolating those noise against low frequency sonar in deep water is not a given. Yes, hybrid cars are quiet, but the engine in question would be a lot larger and deep sea water transmits sound really well. I...

Continuing the discussion of what China's future conventional fleet looks like. Shilao's podcast recently mentioned that when 039B production slowed down, people were speculating whether the next submarine would be much smaller or be using mini nuclear reactor. But with 039C, it looks like they...

8- The 076 may be being optimized for pure electric UGVs and the ZBD-05 being replaced by a full-electric AFV!!!
There has been a lot of speculations on the catapult length, J35 and number of lifts etc. I foresee a lot of disappointment the day the final piece of the modules is welded onto type 076. Very few people ask why China need this type of ship, where are they going to deploy them, what type of war...

Yes. and that certainly looks like a long well deck but the question is does it have a ramp like the Type 075 LHD because my understanding is the standard configuration for the Type 075 LHD is 2 x LCAC with plenty of rotary wing on the Type 075 LHD while the Type 071 LPD can take 4 x Type...

Then of course there is that saga on the J-31 thread where you changed your point like 10 times and tried to gaslight multiple people.
You keep posting anything that sounds high-tech and exotic to you as a smart procurement idea. But you don't research why things are done like they are done presently or think about impracticalities of your high-tech ideas. It is how you suggest things like floating airports and SSKs without engines and the use of the J-20 with 2 guns against cheap drones.
Worse, when people point the problems with your ideas you get aggressive. You accuse others of misunderstanding you and you keep changing your point. In this discussion you have already done these several times. You are already accusing people of misunderstanding you (We don't. Believe me. It is just your suggestions are weird) and using a vulgar language. And I can't go without mentioning this. You very visibly have a grudge against Blitzo from the said J-31 discussion. A forum discussion is an "interesting" thing to hold a grudge for.
