Just finished reading a piece on the avionics/weapons fit on these.Including the collision intercept guidance sytem, with it's launch and breakaway cue lights (you'd want to be trusting :grin: ), but also the big problems they had when trying to get the rockets to fire in limited ripple mode. Firing one, fine, firing the lot, fine, firing a few, problems.
