            NOTE THE ZSU23/4 AND SA8S ARE THE BEST HELICOPTER KILLERS THEY HAVE.
            CTOCSE ANALYST BELIEVE IRAQ WILL USE SOME OF THEIR OLDER ARTY GUNS IN
            A DIRECT FIRE ANTI-TANK ROLE. YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE THESE TYPE
            WEAPONS IN OUR SECTOR. REMEBER THE 45TH IS NOT A FRONT LINE UNIT AND
            HAS JUST BEEN ACTIVATED. THE GERMANS WERE REAL GOOD AT THIS.
            (REMEMBER THE 88S). SADDAM WAS A MASTER OF THE DEFENSE DURING THE
            IRAQ/IRAN WAR AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE WHOLE CORPS IN DAYS. REALIZE HE
            HAS NEVER FACED OUR AIR POWER, BUT, UP TILL NOW HE IS STILL FIGHTING
            LOOKING FOR ALL THE ANGLES.
