Any major weapon systems come on-line in the last 10 years?

In the last 10 or so years since the end of the cold war, have any new
weapon systems come on-line?

A bunch. In the aviation side, depending upon what you call "new", you
have the F-15E, which IIRC only became *operational* after the Soviets
were no longer the major threat they had been (the first production
aircraft only reached Luke for the training folks in '88). The French
have had Rafale flying off of their CV for a year or two now. The
Swedes brought the Gripen into service in the late nineties. The
Japanese are getting close with their F-2. The B-2 did not make its
first flight until '89. A plethora of naval systems have entered
service, from the Buke DDG to the latest French CV, and quite a few
smaller combatant designs. Then there are the majority of the UAV
systems, to include the combat capable ones. The Army has brought its
ATACMS missile into service since the end of the Cold War, its new
Stryker combat vehicle, the M109A6 Paladin SPH, and soon the HIMARS
rocket system (already undergoing troop testing IIRC). There are
plenty of others in all categories.

The 1998 spludge was hardly impressive enough for any but the clueless to
see as "online". I don't count any action before Afghanistan as
representative of an "online" weapons system. Up until that time the
Pentagon was reducing the flock and so they agreed with me.

The b-one brings a lot to the table, even if it is late.

The B-1 did not enter service until 2002?! Another Tarvernaut classic,
right up there with optical nukes and wacky-Civil War naval history...
