The RB70 able to kill tanks as well? Probably an old tank in the
side/rear, or IFV/APC (provided neither has upgraded or add-on armour),
but there's no way that warhead can take out a modern tank. We use
STRIX and BILL for long-range AT work instead, but they can't hit
'copters or airplanes :-/

...and the Javelin is supposedly designed to do so as well, though I
suspect you know a lot more than that one than I do.

The thoughts on dual purpose units look fairly solid. We'd need smaller
AA tracking systems and more robust datanets, but they'll come sooner
or later. Probably sooner :-/
