I wonder how effective this type of air defense really is. If imagine not so effective unless there's some sort of link to a command and control or fire control system and link to an air defense radar.

recetly systems like this are becoming increasingly relevant. Pilica can apparantly use Piorun missiles too, and those are really effective.

In era of dirt cheap drones like Saheds pr whatever you are goin to see more and more of systems like this.

It is vshorad/point defense. manpads and dual autocannon with optics/thermal imaging and computerized guidance that handles tracking/firing.

presumably pretty decent against uav/drone, and any large aircraft that stumbles into range. no idea how effective it would be against an incoming cruise missile, presumably very dependent on speed of missile.
