part of the Battle of Mogadishu, the part of which was turned into Black Hawk Down, was partially caused by one guy having an anti-helicopter special interest, doing the math lady meme, and then shooting the helicopter with an unguided anti-tank rocket after luring it into the perfect position.
Col. Sharif Hassan Giumale had carefully analyzed Task Force Ranger's previous six operations in Mogadishu and attempted to adapt the lessons he had learned from the civil war and from his extensive reading on guerrilla insurgencies, particularly the FLMN in El Salvador—who had developed anti-aircraft tactics with infantry weapons, to the conflict with UNOSOM.[75][85] After close observation, he had hypothesized the American raids clearly stressed speed, so the SNA had to react more quickly. It was clear that the Americans greatest technological advantage in Mogadishu—and its Achilles' heel, the helicopter, had to be neutralized during one of the ranger raids. This would completely negate the American element of speed and surprise, which would consequently draw them into a protracted fight with his troops. An attacking force of militia would then surround the target and offset the superior American firepower with sheer numbers. Ambushes and barricades would be utilized in order to impede UNOSOM reinforcements.[74][75]
