Default Re: Obat 139 Russia -- 9M37 Strela-10

I would caution against using a single source for making statements about SAM capabilities. Recently I gave a look to some russian and french short range SAMs for an iraqi mod I am doing. The specs often varied wildly from source to source. Part of the problem is that while ATGMs have some relatively clear benchmarks (penetration against RHA) SAM performances are more complicated to evaluate.
