Army Indirect Fire Protection System and New Guided Missile Program

[bring_it_on]

Of course there are no known issues with the new launcher's thermal management system as it has yet to be tested (as far as we know), but until the Army completes its trials we won't know, till then just keeping fingers crossed the revised launcher will pass its tests.

Yes but that's the same with everything. Like one claiming that the ES launcher has not yet overcome the challenges of having two missiles fired from it etc etc. To bring up past challenges on an unrelated design and point those as something unique to this is pretty stupid. They have yet to begin actual testing on this but launchers are going to be heading there pretty soon including climatic testing etc.

Interesting that they're pushing the Stinger Replacement as part of MSHORAD and not a MANPADS update.

Still not entirely sure why they aren't hanging a 7pack of APKWS under the 4pack of Stingers... Load that APKWS with the flechette warhead and let fly!
