    The first one was a pinky promise from the dude that hasn’t had a complete thought in decades, and didn’t even consult the production/patent holders whatsoever before blurting out his dementia riddled brain. I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one.

      There’s a good chance he goes back on it, but for now it stands, and SAMP/T does largely the same job anyway.

        I don’t even think it’s his to go back or forward on, they may agree just to kiss the ring, but those missiles are incredibly expensive and building an oversees competitor is not in their interests without a shit load of money changing hands.
