Giving a medium-altitude turboprop a DAS is interesting. Those things protect against shells now?

Already eight on the UK register, ZZ416 to ZZ419 and ZZ504 to ZZ507.

I was working on this 3 years ago and it was common knowledge. Someone’s trying to make a news story where it simply doesn’t exist.
