In the ISIS/al Quida/Jihadi offensive in Ildib Province in 2014, US TOW missiles were so common in the jihadi ranks that they were used as LOS artillary against SAA fortifications.<br /><br />By 2015 they were being used to try to snipe helicopters by the jihadi's, while the SAA had an influx of Kornet's and training, and were used to "off slope snipe" clusters of jihadi fighters in the open or under cover.<br /><br />The numbers of LOS ATGM's has gone from being a few thousand in Iraq and Syria in 2013, to tens of thousands in 2016.Jay Farquharsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335226520940843630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-78191578556195565462016-11-06T15:12:21.926-05:002016-11-06T15:12:21.926-05:00Good grief, it was only a matter of time before th...Good grief, it was only a matter of time before they figured this out.
