I mean, I won't show too much hate to the canadians. It Looks like a pretty cheap anti air set up. The truck's pretty good, given that it's a seventies Chevrolet C20 or Chevrolet C30 4X4. Also, looks like it has all terrain tires, so it probably gets around pretty good. For those of you that don't know, The Blowpipe is a man-portable (MANPADS) surface-to-air missile that was in use with the British Army and Royal Marines from 1975 to 1985, i've heard from distant family members that i've talked to a time or two who have served in the british royal marines, that it is a pretty reliable system, at times, the system has seen a lot of combat during the Falklands War, Soviet–Afghan War, Gulf War and Cenepa War. So it's proven to be all environmentally, capable. Looks like something you'd make in the field, just to have a quick reaction team handle a unexpected rotary visitor that came to assist enemy forces during a firefight.
