5. They fired 6 missles at it!!!??? That is very odd.
If its true than it portends a situation worse than them having advanced /modified SA-18s it means they have a lot... a lot more than we probably ever thought...

Also boding extremely ill, is which groups have 'em and what the hell are they saving them for?

Something tells me they've been waiting for the real war to start.

Sad days indeed if this is true.
