This is the sort of thing you’d think we’d already have:

Goodbye, MiG: Boeing, General Dynamics Debut Anti-Aircraft Stryker

It can pack:

  • AI-3s, a ground-launched version of the AIM-9 missiles used by US fighters, with significantly better range and maximum altitude than the old Stinger.
  • Longbow Hellfires, originally an anti-tank missile, made famous as the favored weapon of the Predator drone, and suitable for both ground targets and low-flying aircraft like helicopter gunships.
  • Hydra 2.75 inch guided rockets;
  • 0.50 caliber machineguns;
  • and even low-powered lasers capable of burning out quadcopters and other small drones.
