Is that a SAM? On a technical? Never seen that before if it is. Must be a Spetsnaz mod in the field?

You hit every single tripwire word in my mind with that sentence. I did three tours in AFG from 2005-2008 and worked around many "technicals". I even drove a soft side technical for part of my team duties.

Thanks for the info. On my end I am an armchair analyst. I am not posting American special forces info I find on the web because - even though it is out there on the web - I won't re-post it for deference to our troops.

Lot's of pics from Kurds taking pictures with smart phones and posting on twitter and facebook and that got some American special forces in trouble because they were wearing Kurdish militia insignia and that drove the Turks ballistic.

But I figure the Russians are fair game to post and talk about in detail for those interested in foreign policy and militaria and/or killing jihadists news.
