Jordan's baby gunship gets precision 2.75 missiles.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the U.S. Navy have formally signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance for the first international sale of BAE Systems’ Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWSTM) laser-guided rocket.
Great system.  Great idea.  But the range issue bothers me.  5 miles puts you solidly in the range of enemy systems.  Can the range be extended?  I hope so.  Jordan has some very bad guys going at it across their border and these gunships will get used.
