I especially liked this part: "Masoud forces have enhanced the firepower of BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles by fitting them with 32-shot 57mm rocket pods salvaged from combat helicopters (Mi-24 and Mi-25). They reportedly were extremely effective in recent fighting because of their combined mobility, firepower and armor protection."

[GREAT STUFF! I've got to build myself one of these babies for Wargaming!!!]
