Some isolated pockets of Lornaca fighters are still resisting against the HCS on Lornaca Melnig. In a recent attack by A-84 attack fighters on a silo one of the planes was shot down by a SAM. After the silo was destroyed a HCS reconnaissance unit checked the remains and found a launcher for an SA-18K which is a DDS handheld SAM.
The SA-18K is sold on the open market and the DDS, when asked by the HCS, said that Lornaca had bought 50 of the missiles a couple of years ago. Another A-84 has been shot at by the weapon but was able to evade it.
