Correct this was the video in my mind. Can such system be scaled bit more and installed on for corners of vehciles for drone defence? Instead of laser exploding bullets could be used?

The video was proved to be fake unfortunately but similar thing can be done against drone.

Point defence against drone.

Here another system. Similar system exists.

There are hard kill and soft kill systems available in India. Combine that with airburst ammo and you have what you want.

Victor something must be weong wrt to current hard kill and soft kill systems as they are unable to down fast fpv dromes flying below sensor fov.

Such system already exists. Will also have a anti drone variant

hey are unable to down fast fpv dromes flying below sensor fov.

Pretty sure only EW is the available option to control/defend against FPV drones.

EW wont work with Fibre based drones. Only hard kill

Nah, you could easily fit an M230 style chain gun to an RCWS with air burst ammo and that should be pretty darn effective against those FPV drones.

I wonder if we could use a net launcher type contraption to fight against these suicide quad copter drones. Something like this -

So that's a CIWS?

Yeah, pretty much a makeshift CIWS.

Actually enlarge this and have it launched on mobs. It can be effective mob control

It's been almost 6 years since multiple firms from multiple nations are offering M230LF with air-burst ammunition on a RWS; some even with AESA radar.

Now question arises why this defence what user posted is not widespread? Cause you need dedicated system vehicle. My question is having drone defnwc which is compact and much more cost wffective that can be used on all vehicles and even picquets.

Nah, you could mount this RCWS on a tank and have it mated to its APS radar panels (or use a dedicated one built into the system itself).

My question is having drone defnwc which is compact and much more cost wffective that can be used on all vehicles and even picquets.

Use a semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun (or even a simple double barrel one) with birdshots or a net launcher.

Does such system cover all blind spots? Why such system not employed in ukraine?

Correct but all should be compact enought to be mounted on 4 corners of Vehicle (akin to give coverage like 360 camera).

Which user? Ayan the User!?

If you're talking about the RWS that I posted then its weight and recoil forces are pretty similar to those of a Heavy Barrel M2 Browning so it can be easily mounted on anything; even 4x4 quad bikes.
The only reason we're yet to see it everywhere is that as of now no country has done any wide scale adoptions with some currently evaluating, some waiting for others to induct first and some reluctant given the initial high cost.

I don't see why not.

Why such system not employed in ukraine?

Cost and general lack of preparedness on NATO's part.

Net launchers are quite compact and you wouldn't wanna use shot guns as a poor man's APS. I mentioned them more as a cost effective defensive measure for the infantry rather than vehicles.
