      By what means? First the Weasels are RADAR hunters. Light them up (turn on the RADAR) to hit them with a SAM and that station is obliterated. Also if these are being deployed they are hunting stragglers. AKA thise too cowardly to do their job.

      The established bases/batteries are gone. This is sweeping up the crumbs. MANPAD is the only worry at this point.

        People see “old airframe” and they think “desperation” not “specialized role fighters”
