Default Some Phalanx Fun! Seems to shoot missiles down rather effectively!

With that white cap(sensors) on it's head, that Phalanx looks like a cook, a mad cook.

Seriously, one thing I have noticed is that it keeps on shooting a few seconds after it disengaged the target, I guess at the speed the rotaries are turning it's hard to stop on a dime.

Cool find SUBMAN1, I always like to see these kinds of vids.

Me too! Always interesting to see how things worked when it is actually employed. Every other pic shows it motionless sitting there on a ship. This one shows what it really does!
