The 40 mm Bofors L70 has remained a classic anti-aircraft gun for more than seven decades, and it is still capable of intercepting modern aerial threats

I was going to suggest that if you can add an AI turret to a C6 the way the USMC is then you can ptobably do it to the Bofors.

Then I saw the reference to the Tridon...an AI enhanced turret attached to a Bofors.

Here you go mate.

First developed in the late 1950s, the Oerlikon 35mm is one of the most widely used modern anti-aircraft guns.

Used by the Canadian Army 1989 to 2005, the guns provided low-level air defence for two Canadian NATO airfields in Germany. Normally controlled in pairs by a Skyguard radar, the GDF-005 was also fitted with a Gun King 3D computer-controlled sight with a laser range finder and digital fire control system, allowing it to function independently if required.

The Canadian batteries consisted of four Skyguard radars and eight GDF-005 guns. Guns captured from the Argentine forces during the Falkland War in 1982 were put into British service.

That one's at a the RCA museum. The rest were in storage in Montreal as late as 3008.



Don't know where they went after that.

Do you wonder why I get cynical at times.
