True enough. But it appears the Brits cancelled their similar Merlin
effort
years ago,

This was not a technical failure, but the realisation that an 81mm bomb
didn't have the lethality needed, while scaling up to 120mm was a major
retooling and a large logistic overhead.

I suspect a revised view of the nature of the threat likely has something to
do with that decision.
