Interesting camo scheme on what must be a factory demonstrator (or similar). Armament appear to be Hellfire and TOW (?)

Was the PAH-1 a German-only system or did other nation use that configuration?

Poland seems to be bucking the polymer-frame trend. I may pick one up if they do indeed show up on the US market: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/09/22/polish-vis-100-m1-pistol/

LMT has a stellar reputation, so I would be surprised if that rifle was anything less than very reliable.

There are more than I would have thought. https://www.gao.gov/assets/710/709297.pdf

Does this emblem have any special symbolism or meaning behind the design?

Does NATO still have "Tiger Meets"?

YF-23 redux?

Color me unimpressed. Industry can't even get a 1980's airframe-based tanker to work (KC-46) and the F-35 is still not problem-free after 15 or 20 years of development. I don't see this as being significantly different.

Sounds like a Skunk Works or Phantom Works program.

Presumably this now has to survive any legal challenges? https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/09/14/breaking-c-g-haenel-wins-tender-for-the-german-g36-successor/

Does any one stand out among the others? https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2020/09/09/four-european-armored-vehicles-qualify-for-polish-competition/

Always liked this little helo, so I ordered this model kit from EBay (I think this is the PAH-1A1 variant). Did this helicopter keep the same camo scheme throughout it's career?

Can't find much information on the PAH-1A1. Presumably some minor upgrades?

I seem to recall a picture in which the HOT tubes were installed in an angled, "stairstep" configuration instead of straight across. Was that some sort of improved installation?
