ICU has stinger missles???????

Recommended Posts

This is a shoulder-launched surface-to-air-missile which uses Infrared homing as it's guidance system (heat-seeker). It's without doubt a soviet era stinger from the Strela family. To be more specific it's an 'Igla', a short-range-man-portable air defence missile that commenced development in 1971 and came into service in -81 by the soviet army. I believe that the one feautured in the picture above is of the SA-18 model but it could be an older version of the SA-16. The system has an improved lethality in that it maneuvers to target the fuselage rather than other body parts of the aircraft. It can reach targets from a maximum of 5,2 km. The unit cost for an Igla is $60-80K making it a widely traded weapon in the illegal arms industry.

On a personal note I believe it was utterly cowardly to use a stinger on a cargo aircraft. Next time around were gonna see Dallo Airlines go down and someones grandmothers stomach will be be splattered all around the neighbourhood.

^^ Most probably it was empty besides the 11 belarusian men on board when it got hit, as it had just off-loaded it's shipment which consisted of food, medical supplies, tools to repair the previous aircraft and some military weaponry to the AU forces.

Iska hadlow ina igare. Bariis miyay qaybinaysay? waa maya, maxay kalay waday, sooma hub iyo waxkale oo lagu caawinayo cadawga maahan?

 

Those weapons will be used to harm the somali civilians in Xamar, therefore, the shooting down of such plane is justified.

maxay kaaga taala laakin, sootaa iyadoo shidan dhulka lasoo dhigay. Waxay doonta hawadee, waa lug kudhaaftay, aad iyo aad ayaan ugu raaxaysaa warkaa isaga ah, thanks to the stinger, that baby was lit up.

 

In couple days waxba kuma qaadi kartid, naftaada waxba ha ubeen sheegin, xabashi la'aanteed waxba ma tihid waa la ogsoonyey.

I have hope, always had, because i am confident that my idealogy is right and your oppurtunist, daba dhalifnimo, qabalistic idealogies are hopeless. So yeah,I have hope, but do YOU?

They don't show the actual hit. It just shows some writing than the shooter and then the launch. How do you know it was "shot right out of the sky?" Besides the crash site I mean. Is my video not working properly?
