Maybe they got them from our Air Force.

I sm sure that they will blend right in either in jungle, or urban terrain.

I hope that this is a permissive environment.

Incredible!! I know that they have a female HOS now but the tribal mores and cultures that run rampant in that country will make them as effective as umbrellas under an airburst.
