More Speculation about the recently downed helicopter . . .
Canadian blogger Bruce R., has some interesting thoughts about the recent helicopter shoot-down:
That RPG would almost certainly have had to be fired from under 300m slant range, probably much less, and probably either from directly in front or directly behind, to eliminate lead... a helicopter flying at any kind of speed perpendicular to the line of sight is a nearly-impossible shot with this weapon, even at close range... it suggests that this was either a very regular overflight route, or the ambush location was planned in advance. More than one RPG may have been fired, as well.Read the whole thing.
