And the...Of course it's not, but it helps alot. And the point about range...well if you can hit a target at 4km but your weapon system does not allow you to take the shot, it kinda sucks. Of course it has merits and MILAN was not the only ATGM in the German weaponry, but still they had TOW and HOT and didn't get rid of them.

For it was the latter task to defend in local settings, and for that they were quite a large and mainly light infantry force. But you know that Sven. ;-)DemolitionMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-79486640468207194802010-04-25T20:51:43.466+02:002010-04-25T20:51:43.466+02:00That's no cure-all either.That's no cure-all either.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-1920229479860845432010-04-25T20:22:23.881+02:002010-04-25T20:22:23.881+02:00Thermal sights anyone?Thermal sights anyone?DemolitionMannoreply@blogger.com
