Kurds Shoot Down Turkish Helicopter
Published 4 years ago
Kurdish PKK forces fighting against Turkey in 2016, fire a IGLA at an AH1-w super Cobra. It only takes the missile 5 seconds to reach it's target after launch, giving the crew almost no time to react.
The batteries in these anti-air systems is extremely limited, and the counting heard prior to firing is the team adding up the seconds left of use, which is limited to around 40 seconds.
