If you actually manage to hit the darn thing.
I don't think anybody needs to tell you why 8x 23 mm autocannons mounted on a modified chassis with little to no additional strengthening is bad for precision.
The AK-630 is, as @eagle2007 already said, a far better system in every measurable way. And Iran should be able to mount it on its next vessels.
Speaking of the AK-630 - is it possible Iran just acquired a few dozen from Russia, without bothering to produce them? It is, after, employed in small numbers. And it isn't too difficult to maintain. Even better, it's technically an Air Defence System, so it isn't covered by sanctions, just as the S-300 wasn't.
I'd prefer to see Iranian equipment & they don't need precision!!!!! If I'm on a ship the size of the Sina class and it's moving up and down I'd take the 8 barrels over the precision of one & once you place that 1st one onboard then the Navy will work on domestic improvements
Which is the 76 mm OTO Melara. It would be better to replace the 40 mm gun at the back, but unfortunately I don't think the Navy will bother putting a CIWS on such small vessels.
Nobody was saying one is better than the other, he only brought that forward in order to compare with what the Sahand may have, so we would better gauge its capabilities.
Read his previous post brother!!!!!! He is claiming the 77 Meter N.Korean corvette is superior to Iran's Mowj Class!
