German Mantis Air Defense System
Video Overview & Insights
The German Mantis air defense system is a land-based air defense system designed to detect and intercept incoming rockets, artillery shells, and mortar rounds. It was developed by the German company Rheinmetall Defence Electronics and is based on the company's MANTIS technology. The system integrates a multi-sensor suite, including radar, electro-optical sensors, and a fire control system, to detect and track incoming threats. The system can then engage the threats using high-velocity, direct-fire kinetic energy interceptors.
This thing is gonna be specifically used to shoot down drones
The MANTIS itself stands for Modular, Automatic and Network capable Targeting and Interception System, a fitting name as "mantis" in English refers to the praying mantis, a skilled hunter. Basically, the MANTIS system is designed to be prepared to swiftly attack targets at a moment's notice, much like the praying mantis. Its reaction time to potential targets can be as fast as 1/100 of a second, which is considered extremely fast. This reflects the agility and hunting skills of the mantis. This name for the system follows the German military tradition of giving weapons systems names of predatory animals due to its similarities to the praying mantis.

Tested in Ukraine and middle east?
@linggimijonIt would be better if the person speaking wasn't American
@warszawa7157What if the mantis could fire out like HE or like armor piercing?
@Garbage_can1Looks like a fat phalanx. I don't understand why Germany created a fixed non-mobile BIG air defence gun. Instead of putting wheels on it and have a decentralized command..... Seems already outdated.
@andrashavasYou’re just showing a reinmetal ad.
@Truth_AdvocateIt's a digital flak cannon for the Luftwaffe, unlike its ww2 predecessor, the flak shell is programmed at the muzzle of the gun
@JayHawke84Eu tô air e comigo
@RaimundoSabinoPiresGOOD VIDEO 👏👏👏
@willisransom805What is the difference between this system and the German Skynex System? They look very similar.
@reypettis2407Green wires
@JoseLopez-mc7kwLike 40 CTA against drones.
Better to be mobile facing SEAD attack.
목소리가 " 글렌파월 " 목소리군...! ^ ^"
@zero11-BraboCram: fuck the thing in that direction.
Mantis fuck everything at that location.
The Swedish L70 Bofors gun with giraffe radar 40mm granades with 1100 tungsten balls,3P ammo progammabal, proxy and something more . They just have to make. It fire more shells per minute at least 100min.
But it must be modernized then it would bbe great.
Possibly with 4-6 smal missiles and more sensors.
Thales got goalkeeper systems....for ciws .... how's this two compare?
@pushitgentlyWhat is the name of the song at the start of the video? 🔥🔥🔥
@BonjourouinonHab noch keins von den Dingern im Einsatz gesehen im Ukraine Krieg. Nur Leute und Material , darunter auch deutsche Panzer die von Minidrohnen abgeknallt werden
@captn_hankyUkraine could use some of these for the drones and a few more patriots, but this system might be too advanced to share.
@Grenadier311Rheinmetall should get an award for all the help and stuff they been helping Ukraine with, obv there getting some money and contracts but I also believe the quality of there products are top of the line and for the price, and I do believe there helping Ukraine as much as they can and containing to contribute. Hopefully my country will also continue to support Ukraine and weither rep or dem I really hope they will continue the support if not they will not be getting my vote
@richfort5926German company name is RAIN METAL😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
@joaquinfigueroa8218Ob das System genau so zuverlässig ist wie der andere Natodschrott? Funktioniert das noch bei 40 °C minus extremen Staub und bei 50`C ???
@gerdohlendorf8456I wonder about one thing. The rounds to this system must be pretty expensive. What if somebody starts shooting cheap artillery shells at your military base. Wouldn't that quickly exhaust the Mantis system?
@CzechShooterThis could be shorter- there is too much repetition
@chipledhungamanFitting it to a tank like the gepard would be cool.
@pixelfungamingDope gun
@Ravenhader69Man you guys keep repeating the same stuff over and over... and some stuff you dont even seem to understand what it actually means
@donaldwatson6334that cannon has the most demanding job in the world..
@viarnaywhy are there so little comments for a vid with 175k views
@CrustySofaWhen I watch this I think of Russia hypersonic weapons if the mantis could fire 50,000 bullets in to the path way of a Russain hyper sonic missel it could put a wall a metal swarm in the pathway in front of the hypersonic weapon in flight no matter how fast it was going ,,,If the mantis could fill the sky with millions of small bullets in the pathway and even program the metal swarm to track the hypersonic weapon in flight as the hypersonic weapon passed thru the metal millions of bullets the bullets would cut the hypersonic missle in to peices in flight ,,,sometimes the smaller something is the more destructive it can be ,,..metal cloud of target exploding bullets 100,000 of them nothing could pass thru it storm of small missle seeking sky swarm bullets ,
@alienzardsketter.9076You didn't talk about the ammo which is impressive. You showed pictures of it. What is nice about AHEAD ammo in these systems is that they are individually timed to explode while leaving the barrel and the shell will throw up a tungsten wall at an area allowing a larger margin of error.
For whatever reasons and trust me when I say I've tried looking... The US CWIS systems use direct kinetic penetrator or slugs to hit the target - meaning one projectile has to hit an other incoming projectile... Where AHEAD ammo fires basically a rifled round with 152 tungsten shot in it that spread out in a pretty standard cone making it much more likely to hit... At the velocity of the enemies incoming projectiles and MANTIS outgoing shells? Well it doesn't take much to destroy the threat. Just enough to destabilize it and let aerodynamic forces rip it apart should suffice.
Why we don't go old school with proximity, or radar flak rounds or even HE is beyond me.
We need 75mm to 100mm for more velocity and range.
Especially for Naval purposes till laser technology comes around. Missiles are too expensive for drones... 35mm is a nice balance between not too much overkill if they could control it to even semi auto! Don't know why it HAS to shoot 25 rounds every time.
Also there is test footage of it shooting down 8 drones in one burst. So already proven effective against cheap swarms!

@bexhetgorenca2825Without cheap Russian energy, how will Germany be able to run the factories that produce enough war machines to help Ukraine?
Germany can thank the U.S. for blowing up Nord Stream, which cut off their energy supply.
Nope.....American gas is neither enough nor cheap to replace Russia's.
Darwin Award goes to the U.S. Empire!
