I am the soldier and author you quote in your article. You have made a mistake with my Rapier missile call sign in the Falklands War which as I stated in my book was "32 Alpha". Thank you for your interest in Air Defence .
Never get rid of guns for missiles or Smart this or that
Not saying don’t use tech and advanced technology, just never get rid of simple but it WILL fire.
The next (in fact already) scandal will be remote guns/ weapons aka CROWS remote weapons systems. Yes it’s great, if it works, can Joe get on the gun in 10 secs if (when) it fails,

It’s not IF technology fails you, but WHEN.
