Hi! I make a good table with civil ship damaged or killed by iraqi helicopter, but Iranian Navy ship have some question.
If possible, ask him about "Kahnamoui" loss (11 sept 1982 - ?) possible from Exocet missille. Also - Rafaello ship destruction - it was target for missile boat or helicopter?
If known about any INS ship damaged by Exocet 4 sept 1986?
