Can someone interpret this statement for me please....English is my second language and my American fails me here.

In addition Icom UK will also be supplying the RAF with throat microphones, speaker microphones and spare battery packs.
As I recall....throat mikes went out with World War Two....(in the USA anyway) although I did use them with Bristow in the Seventies (along with that wonderful system called Decca).

Is this really a step "forward"? Throat mikes?
