What if The M247 Sergeant York had passed testing?
NB: Not been better, but just passed (presumably rigged) testing?

How long would it have been before anyone actually noticed? Given America tends to establish air superiority anyway long before the troops go in, would anyone ever notice until it's up for replacement?

I can't think of a single situation where the MIM-72_Chaparral (which the US Army did buy) has actually been used.

On the flipside, Sgt York would probably have been upgraded by now, with a more modern radar (like the F-16 has - which may have solved some of the origonal's problems) as well as digital-air-burst capacity. I can also see an up armoured TUSK equiped one being a very useful support vehicle in Iraqi street fighting.
