What i said was that all weapons cleared for the Harrier had been cleared for stowage on CVS
Well blow me - all that time JFH could not operate CRV7 from the boat. If only we'd know we could have asked you and got the clearance
Cleared for stowage on CVS is fairly useless when you can't lift the damn things off the ramp, as is the case with PW3.
with 'pilot in the loop' to reduce collateral damage.
I am also pretty certain there is not only a pilot, but also a navigator, in the loop whenever brimstone is fired. Yes, DMS Brimstone has a smaller warhead, but its CEP is smaller and is more flexible than either Mav G2 or JX. Ever tried PID'ing a target with the G2? No? Didn't think so. JX is useless at night, G2 is all but impossible to use against small (afg/lib style) targets. I would much rather have had 3 DMS Brimstone rather than one Mav on stns 2 and 5 over Helmand.
