#2 Nice to see they have gotten past the "Not Invented Here" barrier and purchased the Norwegian system off the shelf.

Not surprising to note U.S. technology in the cornerstone piece (AMRAAM).

#3 Also interesting is why they haven't erected a "vanity shield" around the device.

#4 Hurrah! I always liked the NASAMS system. It just struck me as nifty, using an AMRAAM from the ground. Why wouldn't it work? It even has a surface-to-surface engagement mode.

AMRAAM also has been demonstrated on a HMMWV-based system, called HUMRAAM. Cool!
