Strafing attacks with COIN aircraft are fine when it's the Battle of Mboto Gorge again and we're facing 10,000 Watusi Warriors, armed to the teeth with kiwi fruit and guava halves. I suspect they'll find it's a different game when Johhny Foreigner turns up with a few Stingers or whatever SAM's that nice Mr Ahmadinejad provides them with these days.
