Plenty of slow moving targets. Wouldn’t want to be Russia right now.

I agree. They’ll use the manpads on trucks, etc.

I saw a video of four helicopters being shot down. I lost count of the manpads fired.

The Russian slow moving targets are by and large specifically armored against the SA-7B, though. The Ukrainians are having to use much larger ATGMs to take down Russian helicopters.

Also, these things are *old*. There’s a pretty good chance that they’ll explode at or just after launch.
