 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. New article; 3,693 characters of prose; no neutrality issues; no unreferenced statements; sources all appear to be reliable. I prefer the first hook, but both are interesting, well-sourced, and less than 200 characters. The image used in the article has a very detailed non-free use rationale, which is nice to see. (I removed another image, File:Strikes on Tora Bora.png, as it had only a tangential connection with the article's subject). No QPQ necessary as the creator has fewer than five DYKs. Nice work, Applodion.  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  14:11, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
