11Apr 07 LIve fire of the M47 Dragon, it’s been superceded by the Javelin, a great improvement as I understand. It is a ‘fire and forget it’ system, much better than the M47 Dragon and it’s brilliant ‘fire and sit there until they kill you first’ system.

10Apr 07 I spent alot of time in the early eighties being driven around in one of these, the smell of diesel fuel and exhaust still brings back vivid memories. You have to live being dropped out the back of an LHA in one of these at zero dark thirty in the morning, into a rough sea to do field exercises on a cold goat infested strip of beach in the meditteranean to understand. |
