Buddy of mine was in special forces during the Panama invasion (sniper). Best story he told was how they leaked so much false information to Noriega's forces it was almost comical, including about where their drop zone was going to be. So....he and the rest of his Rangers group dropped in further out and hoofed it in to a bluff over looking the 'faux' drop zone, and called in an AC-130 to clean up anybody who showed up for the party. Sure enough, about half a dozen 'AA' carts showed up waiting around to pick off paratroopers like they were smart.
'Puff the magic dragon' comes in, makes an orbit over the area and cleans up all the 'AA' wagons, which are easy to spot at night because they had their engines running. Cuts a few in half according to my bud who was watching on thermal.
