  1. For those that don’t read articles…

    That’s 2700 additional AA missiles from NVA stock. Soviet-made Strela. Hopefully they still work

  2. At least what I could find and learn about them after a quick search is that they were in active inventory till 2012 and should have a shelf live up until the end of 2022… So yes, they will work.

  3. I hope it’s not the actual color or you can just paint a target on the person who uses it.

  4. Fun fact: the Slavic “strela” (arrow) is related to the German “Strahl” (ray).

    The Germanic root also used to mean “arrow”. For example, the Old English word for “archer” is *stræl-bora*. Literally “arrow bearer”.

    And yes, I learned this because of AoE 4.
