Well this will require a look to see if the next is still in service within the game. Done... they have the ASU-57 but my search for the ASU-85 reveals that it'll need to be an ADD. The article sourced from JANE's, indicates they received them in 1970 (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute SIPRI data.) but, also by the title that at some point they must have been taken out and reactivated back into service again-not unusual-but needs to be verified. The 15km speed increase will allow it to get to the front earlier if required to do so, due to their roughly 2,000yr. history of friendship with China, OK not true. They were subjugated to the Chinese for centuries. Anyway background on both...

For the uninitiated NPR is well respected in this country. Learned much from FRONTLINE whether you want to or not. It's good to have my "head out of the sand" and sand just seems to get everywhere on you especially with your head in it. Absolute PITA to get it out of your ears!?!

Before I forget, yes, this is a "One World One OOB (OWOO-Somehow I like that-you can even say it three times fast!!!)" post.

Regards,
Pat
