Maybe you flew in Afghanistan, but not in the South (unless you had a Stab call sign and left everytime you were needed). Manpads weren’t an unlikely event - many of us saw them.
You’re the one that dragged Afghanistan into the NH discussion. But please, if you’ve finished taking sh1t let’s get back to the NH90
