That’s 2700 additional AA missiles from NVA stock. Soviet-made Strela. Hopefully they still work
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.
I hope it’s not the actual color or you can just paint a target on the person who uses it.
Everything has to go – we need space for the 100Bn of new equipment 😡
Can they be used to hit some other targets as modern aircrafts are probably too hard targets for these?
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.
