What happen to obsolete weapons as AIM-7 Sparrow which have been replaced by
AIM-120 ?
Destroyed or stored ?
Expended downrange, in a lot of cases. "Okay, it's going to cost X money
to have these 84mm HEAT rounds scrapped, they're at the end of their
working life and only a few backwater Territorial Army units still use
them. What do we do with them? Okay, I guess some TA units get to
live-fire their 84mm Carl Gustavs then..."
Personal beneificiary of this, since we got a truckload of 84mm rounds
and sort-of-orders not to return any...
It's generally cheaper to fire off LIFEX ammo than to safely scrap it.
