If they're low-flying helicopters, yes.. bear in mind too, this doesn't work so well when moving. This animation depicts one thing, but I sincerely doubt there was very much accurate fire when travelling at speed; obviously, those guns are not stabilized, and I highly doubt that traversing the desert as they were, it was nice and flat terrain. I am thinking either they stopped or slowed to actually fire, or, they drove ridiculously close to let loose RPGs and heavy MG fire. (Meaning like.. 50-100 feet).

Well Germany favored quality over quantity and they lost cuz of attrition. Quality can win wars quickly which is why they had early success. But once u get bogged down and locked into a war of attrition, it all becomes about who can tank and replace their losses quicker

Just a few corrections on the Toyota's themselves: 1. Hilux is pronounced high-lux not he-lux as it comes from the Japanese pronunciation (Hairakkusu). 2. The Hilux shown at 6:04 is way to modern for 1986/1987. The one shown looks to be a sixth generation Hilux (1997-2005), as its body is smooth. The Chadians would have been using fourth generation Hilux's and earlier. 3. The Hilux's shown at 7:33 look to be more correct.

Thanks for providing us with this fascinating piece of history Armchair Historian. The Toyota War changed desert warfare forever and Toyota executives must have been shocked by how successful their products were in war and the country of Chad lived up to its name. Here's a fun fact: when he died Gaddafi's dead body was taken away in one of the Toyota pickup trucks to twist the knife further, how ironic.
