As for that, I'm not sure? Maybe ask Osama how it was using US Stingers. Or maybe how it was dealing with Hind's before the US had to stick their nose in Soviet business.  |
A Huey would last about 5 seconds up against a Hind. The hinds were not deployed in their correct role in Afganistan. They were tank hunters, which is not a good role against a militia force with no tanks
