I am liking the afghani fans. As long as kuffr is not in the mix, they seem alright. They didn’t get distracted from their noble objective of loving up paki fan biradhers. We should hire the British to train them in riot etiquettes.

Cybaru, the main issues with helicopter AEW are:
1) power generation for sensors
