Speaking of sending air defense units home, the mobile AAA platforms were actually someone of the only heavy gunned vehicles that COULD register hits all the way to the tops of a mountain due to elevation capabilties (a lesson relearned painfully, firing on the top and bottom floor AT teams in Grozny). I don't know the statistics on them in particular, but my guess is that smarter convoy commanders were not as quick to send them home as your copy and pasted paragraph would imply.
