So I figured the latter term       was a new, better type of air defense system. I mean the name looks like       a typical US DoD acronym.              Turns out that MANPADS is just a generic term for many kinds of portable       air defense systems made by a variety of countries.              --       Dan Tilque              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
