My first Video about the Metalstorm Game as I review the Mig-23 Fighter Aircraft in it.

For me it is best used for “ Hit and Run ” or “ Slashing ” Tactics, as I show in one of my Best Games with it. This was initially r...

The Philippine Government is reportedly unhappy about the delay in the Delivery of Defense Assets it bought from Israel caused by the Israeli Government’s Policy of prioritizing its own Military first instead of Defense Exports.
