So , whats going on there at Raytheon, any recent news on this programme ? Was it canceled ? I've went thru whatever i could find on the net , but nothing recent about the RMP block II...aparently the current model is RMP block I ( from 2001?), which i guess its kept up to date by virtue of its reprogramable processor ...
Also i've read somewhere that the Stinger is suposed to "cover the ground troops up to 2018 " or something like that ...are the americans planning a succesor to Stinger after that ? Or they'll just give up the idea of MANPADS for their troops at least, since they havent used in the past decades anyway ...
I was about to ask what is that weird shapped 3 sided piece on the launcher's right side , but aparently thats the IFF antenna ;D...speaking of which , i'm curious how is the Igla IFF instalation looks like ...are there any pics of it ???
Thanks for your time !
