Arena (countermeasure)

Review section
This article was in pretty poor shape a month ago when I first started working on it. There was: no picture of Arena (other than a somewhat dubious graphic), little mention of attempts to export Arena, and also an inaccurate statement that Arena is the successor to Drozd. I have resolved these problems somewhat. There is still: no information about why Arena has still not entered volume production, no comparison to the earlier Drozd or later Afganit, little information about the system's performance, and much missing history about the different variants and attempts to market Arena. User:Ottava Rima's comments at the article's FAC in 2008 still ring true: The article does not set up why there are two predacessors. It does not set up how they are connected. It just simply lists them, says some sort information on them, then abruptly declares that there was a new system. This is not enough background to even discuss the history of the item in question.

I may be able to bring this up to GA status at a later date. Schierbecker (talk) 03:30, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC it seems like no one has addressed Schierbecker's concerns about comprehensiveness above. Z1720 (talk) 01:55, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC, per Schierbecker's concerns. As they are one of the more knowledgeable editors currently active in this subject matter area, I trust their judgment on this one. Hog Farm Talk 03:06, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
