ReplyDeleteThe biggest problem with these systems is always training. When your main munition costs 40k a pop, you don't ever get as much live fire training as you want.
i think AND hope its the same system as the Army uses. too much duplication of resources. if it ain't born in the Corps don't make it wrong. besides. we need to leverage off each others supply chains...i'm seeing too much unique gear without reason. we use SMAW, the Army uses Carl Gustav's...i mean reallY? exact same function but we're using a different rocket? that kind of foolishness needs to stop.
