Hi guys new here had to sign up after reading a few old posts some of which I am so tempted to reopen but anyways.

Rocket pods? (as in not missiles) as fitted to for instance attack helos.
Does anybody know if Russian S-8s I believe are still unguided, asking because I have seen nothing to support the fact they are not yet the likes of the AH-64 has used DAGR system for ages.
For those that dont know its a simple cost effective system which gives unguided systems the accuracy of guided link

Unless I am being thick this must make a huge diffrence to effective loadout as rather than firing the whole pod & hoping to hit something its a near guaranteed on the money shot so can fire just one or 2.

Sorry if wrong place debated over sticking in small arms but would not class it as such.

Well it looks like despite being 18 for 18 on tests no takers, there are lots of these nearing final testing or ready like the LOGIC system by several countries. If lump APKWS II onlyUS purchase I can find is for Base Air Defence though have not followed it through. USMC are intreasted & testing probably as they use ground support a fair bit.
I am sure it has the potential for being cheaper & increasing effective payload some links if anyones intrested.
