Saw the story the other day. IIFC, the major point was that it had greater range over the disposable AT-4s currently being carried.

Ammo for it is also "in the system" as our rangers got it back in the 90s.

I had recommended it as a replacement for the old 90mm recoiless rifle when I worked at the Engineeer Center. My thoughts were it was more flexible then the 90mm because it also had the capability to fire both smoke and illum rounds. Nice options for a combat engineer as part of a breaching effort, smoke to screen and illum for thermal marking.

They went with the Javilin ATGM instead. Go figure.
