The shipping containers are another indicator it’s likely they contain some sort of power equipment, like generators or capacitors. Alternatively, a 350-400mm naval mortar could explain the the barrel diameter and length, but such a large mortar would be hilariously unnecessary.ĭue to weight issues, there is virtually no reason for a conventional cannon to have this kind of diameter-to-caliber ratio, and so the barrel’s size likely accommodates magnetic rails to propel shells to hypersonic speeds. That’s 2-3 times the cannon caliber of conventional tube artillery barrels, which generally have a diameter-to-caliber ratio of 1.25:1.
It’s large, for one, with a barrel that measures 26-33 feet in length and 12 to 20 inches in diameter.
The turret spotted indicates the presence of a railgun. Such a wide barrel provides room for the parallel magnetic rails that propel metal projectiles to speeds of over Mach 7. The entire railgun measures roughly 65 feet from turret rear to barrel muzzle, with the barrel itself about 33 feet long, and 12-20 feet in diameter.
