if he is this shouldn’t make him feel safe, (copypaste from my original response) wtf are a .50 cal and 8 stingers (heat seeking missiles looking for the hot IR plume of a jet engine) going to do against modern threats?

the avenger was a meh AAA platform in the 90s. against today’s flying menagerie of death? like, a stinger isn’t going to lock on a drone unless it’s a large one, like a shaheed. the 50 cal is relatively low rate of fire and tho the round has punch, it doesn’t have much range for this kind of engagement.

wouldn’t be surprised if they’re unloaded and just for looks.
