In message , u don't have to
know writes What happen to obsolete weapons as AIM-7 Sparrow which have been replaced by AIM-120 ?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. -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J. Adam MainBoxatjrwlynch[dot]demon{dot}co(.)uk
