Final new build TPM-1 released

TPM-1D5 will go down in history as the final version of the famous missile to be built from new. The missile will continue to be developed for a couple of years yet but these later versions will be rebuilds of existing missiles. The final 350 new missiles to be built before the end of the year will be to D5 standard and 100 D4As will also be upgraded afterwards.

D5 includes the new countermeasure system from the TPM-2 (and also used in the QPM-1). There are also a number of software updates.

Air and ground launched TPM-1 are unchanged.
