So for arma tomorrow, the gals/guys are landing in contested areas in night as paras. I am still debating if they get dropped by plane, or by heli tbh.
Landing prep for Operation Slanted Rain. Commits one Army/Navy Brigade to an opposed landing against enemy beach.

The FR.1 was superceded by the FR.2, which brought a more powerful engine to the biplane. The FR.2 "Chrome" earned its nickname for the shiny airframe it sported at factory and before camo paint was applied at airbases.

Not to miss:
- The Chinese buy the Harpy and make it into the Sunflower 200s
- The Taiwanese buy the Harpy and turn it into the Chien Hsiang
Germany makes the DAR drone, South Africa turned it into the ARD-10 loitering drone. This was sold to Israel and became the IAI Harpy. The Harpy is copied by the Iranians into the Shahed 131 and 136. This is bought and copied by the Russians as the Geran-2. Then the Geran-2 is copied by the US as the FLM 136.

25mm Precision Grenadier System, developed by Northrop Grumman & Colt. Its a XM25 with NGSW XM157 Scope on it. It is no longer a bullpup, but seems to share a modified trigger group and barrel with the og XM25.
Live-fire testing of the New mock-up of the XM25 “Counter Defilade Target Engagement System” equipped with the XM157 fire-control system

Here's one XM25/M25 At AUSA 2015. Best I can tell this is a new optic on a *new* weapon, and not a mockup of one
The improvements to the XM25 Counter-Defilade Target Engagement System are the result of soldier feedback that came from two battlefield assessments in Afghanistan. “This is not the XM25 that went to Afghanistan a few years ago,” Robert Menti of Orbital ATK Armament Systems, the maker of the futuristic airburst weapon, said at the Association of the United States Army’s annual meeting.
