Ok,
AA gun's on Al Basrah are in the few theirs only 2 SA7s i think you should add a few Stinger MANPADS reason: would make it more realistic as the US/UK sold a fair few to A-stan to fight the Ruskys

I think Basrah needs at least 4 AA kits. Stingers and SA-7s are extremely common in such countries. Pretty much every family has a few AKs, an RPG, and some kind of surface to air missile launcher.

wow this is pretty out there. pretty much every family has a SA7? i cant tell if this is sarcastic or not i hope it is. first of all a stinger missile would probly be pretty rare in iraq, the former iraqi army had plenty of SA7s that found theyre way into insurgent hands. the few available stingers from the afghan war are probly either not working anymore or still in afghanistan.

I have quite a few friends from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq. They told me that in each house, you can find several rifles and assault rifles. So a large house of 12 to 15 people, there might be half a dozen or more rifles. Typically one or two RPGs and at least one stinger. (No joke).

I imagine that there is even more proliferation of such weapons in countries such as Afganistan, and less in countries such as Jordan, Egypt, and the Arabian peninsula countries.
