And we kind of do some things to get around it.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
And we end up going over the last ridgeline with these guys.
We're going to meet up with the Northern Alliance.
soldiers, if you want to call them that, fighters.
And what's interesting is there's a ZPU-23-4.
That's a four-barreled 23-millimeter anti-aircraft gun on the other side of a small hill.
So we had done the- This is what's waiting for you?
If I don't, if I screw this up, that's what's waiting for me.
So there's a group of guys and then the gun.
And in between them is a small hill that as long as they can't see me, they can hear me all they want, but if they can't see me, they can't shoot me.
And the idea, you know, I did the math and the navigation around it specifically so that when I came across the final ridge, they wouldn't have a line of sight on me.
So they couldn't shoot me.
But we've got to descend, you know, 4,000 or 5,000 feet in about a mile, which is really difficult to do.
And if you go long, which you normally would, that gun's going to tear us to pieces.
