Actually, I heard that the US government is looking into developing its own version since it's either not happy with RAFAEL's, or believes it's too pricey. Most likely it has something to do with awarding large defense contracts to campaign donors here in the States.

Comments from the IDF indicate astonishment at the 'hundreds' of RPGs that HA deployed. That level of fire would only be possible from pre-dug hardened positions. In open ground it might be difficult to fire 'hundreds' The Kornet has a 4km range, but HA prefer to fire from close-in to ensure hitting the Merkova's vulnerable points. Is this ‘metal storm’ ?
