Bradleys with heat-seeking Stinger missiles

There already is a North Korean tank with a SAM I think.

The problem with dumping SAM on a non AAA class is that the EW rating is used for other things on those. So any SAM on an APC or tank or infantry unit has no EW factor (EW is anti-missile on non AAA classes).

So it's best to stick with the specialist M6 Linebacker SP-SAM the USA has in its OOB already. In fact the journalist may simply be getting confused with the reintroduction of SPAA assets that have been ignored for a while.
