MBDA need to be more bolder in the loitering munitions field and specialy start a jointly develop new multi calibre Rocket Artillery for long range engagement from 110mm 15kg WH 20km/range, 122/128mm (25kg) WH 40km , 166mm 50kg WH (60km), 254mm (125kg) warhead 160km) and a heavy 324mm (250-300kg) and a 250km range and ofcourse a TBM in the 560 to 630mm with a (500kg) WH and a 360 to 500km range and capable of carrying cluster type munitions and the latest in supersonic dive reentry and evoidance of countermeasures or AA to EW. What happen to the Fire -Shadow loitering heavy munition tested and ready for prodution and just dissapear, that was one of the worst decisions,if the British had cold feet MBDA should continue and now would be the biggest gainer in orders from praticly everywhere in the globe, even MBDA inc America have the granade drone and other easily converted type of drones that can carry a 2.5kg hollow charge or a 3.6kg HE Frag munition, i hope the Aquila high altitude hypersonic ICBM or TBM interceptor missile get to the development fase right now and have a short developing cicle, the Israel IAI Arrow 3 missiles already won the German high altitude LR interceptor and many countries will go for the stunner missiles from IAI even America! Britain at least invested in the CAMM MR and should go for a long version ER in the 100 to 120km range, because they will get alot of orders, MBDA have been very conservetive and to slow to react, you guys are great but need to be bolder, look at this Enforcer missile that have a 1kg warhead i hope the Viper strike should teach something to MBDA those anemic warheads are not effective, why not upgrade the ERYX to a 1200 to 1500 meter range would praticly take the NLAW, AT4 and all those SR Spike and others missiles direct strong competition, lacks some ambition on MBDA im still a investor in the stock but something have to improve even in the air to surface munitions the AS-30L are retired why MBDA dont already develop a better solution with a increased range, speed with a booster and a decent payload to replace the AS-30L i know why its because you dont have the focus and personel to do it or just have frozen brains, you should focus on European sovereign capacity and America will sell alot of Paveways from II to the IV. MBDA is the best of Europe and you guys project our pride and ambition go big think smart and do lose your focus with others stupidity, he are getting behind 3 world countries what is going on?!
