    An interesting thought, if the USA cancel the F_35B then what will all the countries with STVOL carriers do for new planes?

    I thought the funding the UK put towards the project was supposed to prevent this from happening?

    JERNAS is the export name for the Rapier FSC (Field Standard C) air defence system, it is based on the Rapier Mk 2 missile and launcher which is in service with the British Army and RAF, the Blindfiretracking radar and the Dagger surveillance radar

    So they’re both identical in terms of capabilities?

    What’s the difference between Rapier C and JERNAS?

    I read on another forum that there is no technical reason why the Brimstone couldn’t be fitted to the Apache Longbow, it’s just that the Brits bought a whole bunch of Hellfires at the same time as the helicopters and so don’t want to spend extra replacing them. Maybe after they’re all used up or past their use-by date?
