Japan scores a naval bullseye with ship-mounted electromagnetic railgun

Описание: Japan has achieved a naval first by firing a ship-mounted electromagnetic railgun – and hitting a target vessel.

The gun mounted on the JS Asuka uses electromagnetic force to launch high-velocity projectiles – the US attempted to develop a similar weapon but abandoned the technology after a decade of research.

The shells can reach a speed of almost seven times the speed of sound, offering a highly effective penetrative capability.
