Stale

The article says in one spot “ A software upgrade of the APKWS will be applied starting in late 2021”. Well, this is 2023. Should this be changed to “was scheduled to be applied,” without confirming that it was? It should not state permanently that something will happen in the future, pointing to a date in the past. Unencyclopedic. Does anyone know of a reference showing whether the goal was achieved? Edison (talk)<

You can determine this quite easily by looking through the article history. The militaryleak.com site -- which is clearly not a reliable source by the way -- is dated Sept. 22 2018. If we look at the revisions from that date until now, you can see that it's quite obvious that the militaryleak.com site simply plagiarized from the Wikipedia article. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 20:33, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
