Yeah, but they work GREAT on Russian-made helicopters.

Pfffft why would the Syrian military even need to use helicopters on rag tag insurgents?

That's what they use to drop those cool 'barrel bombs' on the old ladies shopping in the markets.

Actually the Saudis gave them the TOW's. Just a little something to sting Assad and Vladi. No big deal. Al Qaeda didn't exist when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. And the Stingers never 'came back to bite us' but it fucked the Russians up pretty good..

But the great friend of west was there back then, and he is a 'warrior' here, not a terrorist.

Barrel bombs can be dropped from transport planes that fly high enough out of reach of MANPADs.

What are you going to hit flying THAT high ? Syrians are using helicopters.

I would like to add to this that this supposedly American poster does not represent the views of the American people towards anyone in the Middle East. We have no ill-will towards the Syrian people, but unfortunately it has become a pawn on the US/Chinese/Russian testosterone chess-board of proxy-war, and there isn't much we can do about it.

Please do not form opinions on the entire American public based off anonymous internet postings. The American people are sick of blood-shed, as much as any other.

NAH !! We ALL hate Assad !!

That was HOW LONG before 9/11 ? Twenty years ? A lot of things can happen in twenty years.

Another thread with same TOWs... Wonder how has equation changed in last few months since rebels started receiving these.

And Putin has managed to get under skin of few.

Stupid Americans repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. Wont be surprised if the leftovers are used in future by these jihadis to bring down civilan flights.

Yeah, the world should adopt the Indian method of dealing with problems.... thumb up the ***, staring blankly. A TOW against an airliner ? I think you are talking from the orifice that you have your thumb up, chief.
