UK kit is still rather popular out in Kenya not only because of close historical ties but because they often get quite a lot of exposure to it what with our basing arrangements over there (in the form of training facilities). The Army itself is i understand also heavily modelled structurally on our own so I�d imagine that kind of modelling preference spreads to other areas also.
Excellent pictures though by the way.
DARPA and the Office of Naval Research are collaborating on the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) program which successfully launched its first prototype on Aug. 27. DARPA designed the free-flight transition test (FFTT) demonstration to verify the prototype�s flight characteristics and assess subsystem and sensor performance. Designed to launch from both ships and planes such as the B-1 bomber the test vehicle detected engaged and hit an unmanned 260-foot Mobile Ship Target (MST) with an inert warhead.
