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. |
One wonders perhaps they wanted them to fail. The Chinese version of Eldest Son or the Quatari wanted them to fail.
