True enough. But it appears the Brits cancelled their similar Merlin
effort
years ago, and the US has yet to actively seek a mortar fired anti-tank
killer capability, having other systems that can do the job (and if it has
to be done by arty, then a FIST or COLT with assigned laser designator can
do the job with Copperhead).
Do you have any idea how many Copperheads are still in inventory? Martin
built about 4-5000 rounds before production was cancelled and I understood
that substantial numbers were expended in Iraq-1.
