Hmm. I was thinking SPAA, thus Crusader AA MkIII. If you're just betting on technicals, you should just get a ZU-23/ZOM1 (or equivalent) sourced from Russia/China and tie it to your truck bed. Still in production and is pretty much ubiquitous (hell, even the US has several dozen of them).
A truck very likely could support the electronics, they tend to have stable alternators etc. WW2-era systems were a bit more erratic, and I was thinking WW2-era SPAA. A large enough truck (even from that era) could just carry an independent genset and batteries to run the thing, so there's no real reason it wouldn't work as a technical.
>What's wrong with launching 88mm proximity fused HE against drone clusters?
Largely an issue with its manpower requirements, poor ability to react to unexpected threats, and extremely low rate of fire for the types of targets you'd be employing it against.
If you want flak-style Air-Burst munitions, just get a M230LF with XM211P munitions, that thing is pretty much designed to shoot down drones and it doesn't involve robbing a museum (or creating the industry to reproduce the old guns).
