So what I’m curious to see is a variant of these with a Polish Piorun MANPAD (modernized, upgraded, and far more deadly variant of the old Soviet Igla MANPAD). I think they come in at under 15kg ready-to-fire… which offers some intriguing possibilities in terms of making Russian pilots say “where the fuck did they sneak that SAM in from”

    I had thought recoilless rifle, so long as you don't need the tube to come back after you could probably 3d print around a sleeve and dump it after a couple uses regardless. Use like pelletized manpad transport cases for the printer filament and you'd have a pretty steady supply of low recoil relatively easily aimable rockets of a sort with huge huge stockpiles of ammo from countries who let's say have fewer political qualms.
