CAO Helicopter shot down by DDS supplied SAM

A sign of things to come? A CH-26B transport helicopter operated by the Clone Army Of Oscar (CAO) has been shot down by a SAM operated by an Oscar Terran Army (OTA) unit. It is thought the SAM was a hand-held SA-18K. Several dozen were transferred to the OTA a couple of months ago.

The SA-18K is an obsolete missile, however more worryingly for the Clones it is understood the DDS have just supplied the OTA with an unspecified number of SA-22B SAMs. This is the current standard short-range air defence SAM of the DDS and can be easily mobilised on a suitable transport vehicle. SA-22B will easily be able to take on the F-40s and A-84s the CAO have recently received.
