Since the last attack against the base, the base commander ordered that everyone should go on duty at least once or twice a month in order to man several Soviet PKT Anti-Aircraft heavy machine guns, which are positioned in front of that mountain range from where attacks are most likely to come. The whole idea is that if they start to shoot us we immediately respond with heavy machine guns to surprise the front line of enemy troops, to buy some time for our men to get to their firing positions. Got night vision, Infra-red Imaging system, illumination rockets and binoculars. So it was my turn, and actually, I really enjoyed it. Was no enemy activity. Well, we also have mandatory night duty around the base in the towers but staffed mainly by local nationals. So no comment on that.
Wow, I have heard about anti-aircraft machine guns (and used them on games) but I have never seen a real one. You live a very exciting life!

Hi, I have just read these three last posts. Be alert all the time.
ReplyDeleteThat would be useful to practice with such a gun some time. Accurate shot against enemy can save you and your mates.
I hope they are useful ones.
