      No. Well, this is unlikely, to drive up to takeoff from CPV, or ZU-23? Duukhs are not suicides - not only is it difficult to drive up, so fuck you, especially with the installation from the same raised turntables. Most likely, if they really filled it up, then in the old way - they secretly brought in a couple of three Chinese PCs, they are shorter than from "Grad", and it is easier to get it, they put it on a prepared site on direct fire and set it on fire. Of course, it cannot be compared with a single launcher, "Vietnamese", but some kind of one will fly, it will not fly, it will shake your nerves.

        Why are you negative? I also think that the shot is good. And I don’t feel sorry for the dead pendos. It was after their arrival in Afghanistan that Russia was swept by a wave of cheap drugs (sold at retail at a wholesale price on the world market), resulting in the deaths of dozens, if not hundreds of thousands of young children. It was they, the pendos who provoked a mess in Ukraine, as a result of which several thousand Russian people died.

No, of course, emergency gang .... laughing There, in general, the thought creeps in that this is not just a 130, but an AC-130, and the number of deaths is well direct, exactly the same number. the crew is coming up. Who will admit that some bearded men in "sneakers" and "ganship" failed. Looks like the Yankees decided to show off the Taliban on the "gunship" ... but it didn't work out ... Chinese (or others ...) MANPADS are doing their job well, in fact, they love such interesting boards. There are a number of IR sources, ho-ho ... that's just a question, but traps, what are they out of fashion now?

And the old "Stingers" have probably turned sour. Although, of course, they could have gotten something old somewhere and from the compilations of our "Arrows", and other antiques in working order.
