Friendly Forces
	Lacrosse Satellite Built and operated by the National Reconnaissance Office for use by the military and spy agencies like the CIA, the Lacrosse radar-imaging spy satellites have codenames like Onyx, Vega, and Indigo, and each is as big as a school bus. They use synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to see through clouds, darkness, and bad weather, delivering photo-quality shots of the earth below. Each spysat passes over its target on the ground twice a day, and its specialty is giving battlefield commanders target info and then showing them the damage after strikes. [show more...]
Factoid: The Lacrosse can spot objects as small as a foot across and detect larger targets, like surface-to-air (SAM) missiles, even if hidden in a forest. Weight: 15 tons Orbit: 400 miles high Solar panels: 150-ft.
	Keyhole Satellite These digital-imaging satellites, given the designation �KH� and a number, operate in egg-shaped orbits to get IMINT for the intelligence community. Operating from 1960 to 1972, the KH-1 (codenamed Corona) was the first American photo-recon satellite. Today the KH-11 operates in a polar orbit and takes imagery in the visible light and infrared spectrums, with low-light image intensifiers to see objects at night. The KH-12 can take a wide-angle view of target areas 100 miles to either side. [show more...]
Factoid: The KH-11 has sensors to detect camouflage and buried buildings, and its infrared capability can detect whether a factory is operating or not. Weight: Approx. 30,000lbs. Resolution: As small as 4 in. Orbit: 175 miles to 625 miles high
	Mi-17 Available all over Central Asia, the Mi-17 is the workhorse of the Northern Alliance. During the war with the Taliban, the Mi-17 shuttled visitors, including US intelligence officers, back and forth from Massoud�s territory. It can also be outfitted for war with an array of rockets, missiles, and guns and used to hit infantry forces. Designed by the Russians from the Mi-8, the Mi-17 is a special model for export. The domestic version is labeled the Mi-8MT. [show more...]
Factoid: The Mi-17 can also be used for electronic warfare, medevac missions, and minelaying. Creation Date: 42.4 in. Height: 18.75 lbs. Width: : 3,609 ft. Speed: 550 rounds per minute Crew: 550 rounds per minute
	FIM-92A Stinger Weapons System Designed by the US Army for short-range air defense, this is an ideal weapon to bring down low-altitude airborne targets like planes, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and even cruise missiles. It can be shoulder-fired or launched from a Bradley Fighting Vehicle or even a helicopter. The guidance system is "fire-and-forget," using an infrared seeker and navigation system to lock onto targets and eliminate them. First used in Grenada in 1983, this missile system was sold wholesale to mujahedeen fighting the Soviets, and it effectively tipped the balance of power in Afghanistan. [show more...]
Factoid: During the 1990s, one of the very few ways that US intelligence officers kept contact with local Afghan warlords was through a Stinger buyback program, where bounties were paid to bring unused Stingers off the market before they found their way into the hands of the Iranians or terrorist groups. Length: 5 ft. Weight: 12.5 lbs. Range: 5 miles Ceiling: 10,000 ft. Speed: Mach 1+

	Su-22 Fitter From a series of fighters developed in the late 1960s from the Su-7B, this Russian fighter-bomber has wings that are mounted below the center with a distinctive swept-back design and a circular air intake vent in the nose. The Su-22 is designed for higher maneuverability, longer range, and heavier combat load than other planes in the series, and it is particularly good at low-level high-speed flight as well as night missions. The Su-22M4 has a single engine, and it�s designed to destroy ground targets and for air recon. [show more...]
Factoid: Because of the mujahedeen�s stockpile of shoulder fired heat-seeking missiles, courtesy of your friends at Langley, many of these planes have chaff and flare dispensers. Length: 61 ft. Wingspan: 45 ft. Altitude: 54,000 ft. Range: 945 mi. Crew: 1
	T-62 Tank First appearing in 1970, this medium tank has a five-wheeled track, a rounded turret mounted over the third wheel, and has a smooth, almost egg-shaped turret. It�s equipped with a 115-mm smoothbore main gun, a 7.62-mm machine gun, and some models have a 12.7-mm antiaircraft machine gun as well. Also, the gunner has an infrared searchlight mounted on the right side. The T-62�s 580 hp diesel engine gives it a cruising range of 200 to 300 miles, and it has snorkeling and smokescreen capability. [show more...]
Factoid: The T-62 has a few of the limitations of other Soviet-era tanks, like a cramped crew compartment and thin armor. Plus, the cartridge ejection system can pour dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide into the cabin, injuring the crew! Height: 7 ft. Speed: 30 mph Rate of Fire: 3 to 5 rds./min. Crew: 4
	BMD-1 Airborne Infantry Fighting Vehicle With an ability to be air-dropped by parachute and a suspension that compresses to fit it into aircraft, the BMD is a fully tracked amphibious vehicle with a 73-mm smoothbore gun and an extra 7.62-mm machine gun to blast its way through any kind of environment and deliver the troops. It�s powered by a 240 hp, six-cylinder diesel engine and used by airborne divisions. An NBC filter system gives protection to the crew and up to four combat troops. It was first used in exercises in the USSR in 1970 and put on parade in Moscow�s Red Square in 1973.[show more...]
Factoid: When handling amphibious missions, the BMD propels itself with two waterjets in the rear. Crew: 2 Troop: 5 Length: 20 ft. Height: : 6 ft. Range: 360 mi.
	AK-47 Kalashnikov rifle Durable and widely available, the AK-47 is a Russian 7.62mm assault rifle. The AK fires 100 rounds per minute even through extreme conditions such as low temperatures, from moving vehicles, and after being dunked in water, mud, or sand. One drawback is low muzzle velocity, which makes the relatively heavy round arc at long ranges. Other drawbacks are the jams, dents, and overheated barrels that can make the weapon tough to handle. But the downsides pale in comparison to what the AK-47 offers a fighter: an easy-to-maintain gun that can deliver a high volume of fire. This is why the AK-47 has been one of the most used assault rifles in the world since the early 1950s. [show more...]
Factoid: The AK-47�s inventor never earned a single ruble for the 100 million AKs in the world today. He didn�t patent it. Primary function: 7.62-mm assault rifle Weight: 9.4 pounds (4.3 kilograms) with 30-round curved box magazine Rate of fire: 100 rounds per minute/cyclic 600 rounds per minute Effective range: 990 feet (300 meters)
