NGP^85 -- Self Propelled SAM ?

[Dog Soldier]

A friend of mine was a marine corps helo driver in the 1980's. He told me SAM was not the big worry since they practiced NOE tactics and ground obstacles like hills and trees would give SAM fits targeting the helos.

The real bad boy in the Soviet arsenal was the Shika radar guided AAA tanks. Mobile, so you never knew where they were precisely and able to do a lot of damage fast with quad guns and radar lock.

In simulations his squadron was getting knocked down at a rate of 5 to one against this weapon system....until out of frustration he found a bug in the sim and flew through the trees to whack the beasty with hellfire rockets.
