Topic: New T-11 Mass Tactical Parachute soon to be fielded

OTOH, I keep thinking (and have seen nobody in any article adressing that):

Reduced sink rate (= 20% more time in the air) and no oscillation: Sitting Duck shots from the ground?

OTOH this problem was always present, and today the guys are better protected than 50 yrs ago, also I expect the DZs much better cleared/controlled than e.g. even in the ´80s.

Anyone in the know care to comment?
