Product Description
The firepower unit of the Type 625E system consists of a six-barrel 25mm Gatling gun and eight man-portable air defense missiles (the domestic CS/SA-5 version has only four). The theoretical firing rate of the six-barrel 25mm Gatling gun is estimated at 3000-5000 rounds per minute, with an ammunition capacity of 800-1000 rounds, allowing for continuous firing for 12-20 seconds, equivalent to 10 interception attempts. Its high firing rate increases the probability of hitting and destroying targets within the same shooting window.
Besides armor-piercing rounds, the Type 625E anti-aircraft gun missile system also features smart fuzes (programmable electronic time fuzes) for precise airburst timing of shells, significantly improving hit rates. Demonstration videos show that just a few rounds are needed to shoot down a drone, showcasing its high combat efficiency.
The integration of man-portable air defense missiles on either side of the turret is intended to extend the system’s engagement range, combining the high cannon for close-range targets with missiles for long-range targets. The Type 625E system is equipped with FN-16/Hongying-6B man-portable air defense missiles, which feature infrared/ultraviolet dual-color rose petal scan technology for strong anti-jamming capabilities and a maximum range of 6 km. The FN-16 missile’s laser proximity fuze enhances its effectiveness against cruise missiles and drones.
