The Army decided to wait for Raytheon’s vaporware QuickKill system. They’ve been waiting for it for over a decade and been ignoring all other systems in their wait for their ‘perfect’ system.
The Army, having seen what’s going on with Leopard 2s in Syria, is finally realizing that they can’t wait any longer.
You wrote what Ididn’t know. I suppose then instead of upgrading on a pretty good system they waited for a “perfect” system that will still need upgrades? Was it Rayethon then that has had the contract all this time? Thanks.
