How, all the Mk4's are in ANOTHER hot bed and working flat out.

Now, why not put DAS on the SK Mk7. Can't take troops or indeed engage anything, but it will find enemy movement, enemy moving to towns for ambush etc... And no, the terrain is not a big issue. This would certainly help save lives out there, but who pays for DAS, Navy or Army??
