	The Gaskin exists in team Yankee as budget AA with good range and the strength of a thrown potato. Point for point it will kill slightly more Aircraft than an equivalently priced Gopher unit, and give you an extra shot over a gremlin team (one gremlin costs the same as two Gaskins). The medium range of the missiles will ensure NATO choppers have to take some risks to get shots off at your army, even if that risk is minor.

	If long ranged AA is what you are after though, give this unit a pass. It is cheap, but it's only going to kill 0.84 NATO choppers per volley, compare that to the 1.3 kills you would get from a Shilka unit of equivalent point cost. Avoid unless you have a cunning plan.

Officially known as the "'''9K31 Strela-1'''" and called the "'''SA-9 Gaskin'''" by NATO, the Gaskin is a low-altitude surface-to-air missile launcher, designed to take out low-flying aircraft, like helicopters.

	The vehicle consists of 4 turret-mounted 9M31 infra-red guided missiles and radar equipment that's mounted to a BRDM-2 scout car. The weapon is simple, but effective, still used by many former-Soviet and foreign militaries. The vehicle is fast, making it decent at aircraft interception, but lightly armored (a scout car had even less armor than most APCs), and no ground defense capabilities, beyond the crew popping out and firing their guns (and since most vehicle crews are only armed with ~~handguns and the occasional carbine~~, a basic infantry squad would make short work of a vehicle crew).
