I wonder that why naval CIWS 25mm but land vehicle with 35mm? What is the logic?
If 25mm caliber also able to be CIWS why they dont use on land vehicle?
I was wondering the same thing. The naval guys here would know better but my guess is its because CIWS on a ship is mainly to counter missiles, which usually are engaged at fairly close range, about 1-2km which is within the effective range of 25mm with AHEAD, so they might've chosen to have more ammo for the given space/weight @ 25mm, or lower weight, or maybe they want to be able to mount it to smaller ships. 35mm Korkut needs to be able to engage aircraft too so it needs longer effective range (4km).
