Kuwait bust's a group of men supporting Daesh. They were trying to get Daesh some FN6 portable air defense systems!!

Get them from the Ukraine and ship them through Turkey. Wonder if they got any of them through?

Qatar had shipped some of these systems to Syrian rebels back in 2013. They brought down a Mi-8 chopper with one. Being Chinese made, it is also reported that it isn't very reliable. The New York Times has cited rebels that have complained the missile's performance, such as failings to fire or lock on and even two premature explosions while firing, which killed two rebels and wounded four more.
