Default Re: Bradleys with heat-seeking Stinger missiles

North Korea is the only country that tacks sams Sams onto APC’s, my guess is because most countries figure a better than nothing approach is not really better than nothing. Be just as efficient to carry a MANPAD or 2 and dismount to fire if the vehicle has no sensors geared to AAA.
My guess is due to drones they now feel the need for close AAA again so the linebacker will make a comeback.
US had drones as far back as Vietnam now everybody has them.
Bet the Navy guys are more worried a swarm of 20 or so cheap boats loaded with explosives is going to be a hard thing to stop.
