Pedant alert - that's a Jackal Mk 1, the Mk 2 has the weapon ring higher and further forward. I see this one is still fitted with the obsolete ECM frame, thought they'd have binned this off by now and reclaim the stowage space. And my apologies for the pedantry.

No worries at all mate, I'm happy to be corrected
