I wonder, do weapons and munitions companies think up the name first then find coinciding words to complete the anagram, or does it always just serendipitously work out. Makes me think that this thing didn't have "network" capability until the marketing guys said "Um...I can't sell a Matis...what if it was called Mantis instead? Can you guys add something with an 'N'?"

The acronym is English. Why? Wouldn't the Germans call its something like

It looks cool, but if it doesn't hit the target... Did anyone else see a plane getting ripped to shreds? Am I blind?

"intended for base-protection, particularly in Afghanistan"
Yes because talibans notoriously have planes and such...

@Ferrante It's not made for shooting down planes and such.
You don't really need me to explain to you why they aren't actually using incoming rockets and mortars to test these things do you?...
