Xlucine Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Wiki claims that janes reported they were interested in buying surplus french jets a few years ago (of course, the old janes link no longer works), and with it finally leaving french service last year there's probably some low mileage examples on offer. Realistically, there's nothing they could afford that would be able to stop the F-35 rape train that would be coming their way if they kicked off over the falklands again, so it's a sensible choice for a military that can't afford to stop ships from sinking in port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right there should be enough to kill the entire Argentine air force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belesarius Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 http://defense-update.com/20170518_fury.html Textron has apparent conducted several successful tests out at the Yuma proving grouns with this. "The Fury weapon uses a common interface for rapid integration on multiple manned and unmanned platforms. The weapon’s tri-mode fuzing – impact, height of burst and delay – further enables a single Fury to address a broad target set, ranging from static and moving light armored vehicles to small boats and dismounted personnel. Fury is guided by a GPS-aided inertial navigation system with a Semi-Active Laser terminal guidance, enabling engagement of moving targets."
