There's an Ifrit on (or very near--it's on the pavement at least) the helipad at Mike-26, making landing harder. For people like myself--who can fly, but can't land spot-on in a tiny compound, this makes landing at Mike-26 extra difficult, especially when attempting to drop-off the troops before the mortars are spotted (by you or HQ).

There are limited approaches to Mike-26 from the north, and lots of clutter from the approaches from the south, the Ifrit is unnecessary, even if it was intended to add difficulty.
