MANPADS

USA pøste slike inn i Afghanistan til Taliban da de sloss mot russerne. Disse var av typen Redeye. Det sies at Bin Laden alltid hadde en person med en Redeye med i sitt følge de årene han levde på forskjellige steder inntil han ble drept. I dag vet ingen hvor mange som fremdeles ikke kan gjøres rede for. De utgjør derfor en trussel for sivile fly også. Jeg skrev en artikkel om emnet i 2005. Kontakt meg dersom du ønsker kopi. Et utdrag finner du under:

*The DHL story deserves more publicity. The crew`s actions are comparable to those by Capt. Al Hayne`s crew and their much publicised crash landing in Sioux City, also without hydraulics, in 1989.

There is also reason to remind the reader about two shoot downs of American “Blackhawk” helicopters in Somalia in 1993. The rebels used traditional  RPG`s, Rocket Propelled Grenades. Several guerrilla/terrorist organisations are known to have specialised in the use of RPG`s in the SAM role against counter insurgency aircraft flying below 1000`. Never the less, the most infamous shoot downs by MANPADS are the two Vickers Viscounts operated by Air Rhodesia which in 1978 and 1979 were shot down by rebels and more than 100  people perished.
