Press (1) to activate turret. Press (2) to fire missiles. VTOL controls direction, yaw controls steering. Pitch controls elevation, roll controls traverse. A wheeled variant of the Skysweeper ADS system, this time made more compact in order to faciltate use on convoys. While the Skysweeper II M3 is suitable for use with armored forces, it is unsuitable for use with units with wheeled vehicles due to the significant logistical burden of operating what at its core is a main battle tank with an air defense system. The Skysweeper III is only fitted with tracking radar with limited search ability and Land Guardian missiles, but retains the twin M14 30mm anti-aircraft guns. The turret is completely unmanned, and is operated from inside the vehicle via electronic control. The lack of Interceptor missiles or dedicated search radar is not considered a serious flaw due to its anticipated deployment behind friendly lines, where said flaws are compensated with air cover that would be near PAF logistics units. This is designed to provide a last-ditch air defense system against low-level high-speed strikes from fighter bombers, which are easy to detect but difficult for fighters to respond.

@PINK True.
Although it is less stupid than throwing a 1-56 million dollar plane at it. @Pilotmario
Its not that simple. In the field, some machines were fitted with anti-sniper systems. In addition, we employ recon by fire, advancing at speed, where the vehicle weapons are trained alternatively toward either side, firing at suspected enemy positions in order to suppress and distract potential ambushers or to provoke them into attacking earlier, leading to their untimely destruction. After all, we make billions of rounds of ammunition every year, to the point where we ship you guys and our allies the surplus for almost nothing.
Historically, vehicles such as this turned out to be brutally effective at breaking up ambushes. @PINK
To be honest, I would just ambush it with a 12.7 or 20mm rifle. @Pilotmario @Mudkip
You can try. Probably a big waste though. @Mudkip
@Pilotmario I bet it could just be disabled by EW aircraft.
This thing is designed to kill Throth, like the M3.
These M14 cannons can down a Boar in a few hits because lol hexogen-based explosives. I doubt a Throth can take more than one. @Mudkip
Throth could just come in... BLAM dead.
@Pilotmario No prob! And yea, AA Guns with the mobility of a HMMWV Is awesome.
@Gmanndo1000 Thanks! That's what I was going for actually.
Looks kinda like an Avenger system with the HMMWV Execpt with guns. Nice!
@Sharky Thanks!
Awesome vehicle!
