That's literally how you use the laser guided rocket launcher in Half Life 2 to score hits on a Combine gunship.

I've said this before, but this is something I'd call someone an idiot for if I saw them doing it in ArmA, let alone in a real-life war against an enemy with active air defenses.

That pilot gets the Darwin award for hovering in the same spot long enough to get killed by an ATGM.

Point by point deconstruction of the official Russian narrative along with pointing out that the Russian Ambassador skipped mentioning a part of the interview describing that when the Russian troops gave the civilians rations, they then threw a grenade down into the basement. Also, he brought up that the Russian Ambassador has been calling it a war multiple times, not a special military operation.

If I were that speaker I'd then offer the Russian Ambassador political asylum right after mentioning this. Dude's days are probably numbered.

Happy I got the top edition, from a grey market seller for the price of a regular edition. Still I owned myself by buying it. It’s a shame as Portal is a fantastic idea, and a lot of concepts aren’t bad, but the execution is terrible.

New Zealand may have a very small military, but your nation punches WAY the gently caress above their weight in the intelligence world. New Zealand is an insanely important ally in this regard, for the U.S. Canada, and the UK.
