I'm fine with SA-14s and machine guns, but -22s are excessive. Does anyone have any information about weapons put on oil platforms, for example, by Iran (I know they've used platforms for spec ops command posts, so there is at least a military link in their case)? If there is historical precedent for heavier weapons, I don't mind going there.
I agree SS-N-22s are a bit too much (if you must have SSMs, Silkworms would be a better choice). Manpads & MGs are exactly what I'd expect to find on an Iranian rig.
