Do you fly the helo in 1st or 3rd person view?If they have AA soldiers,you should see a strela lift off and streak towards you in 3rd person view.
AA soldiers have uncanny aim,and rarely miss.They can be hidden from view under a canopy of trees and still launch their missile at you with deadly accuracy.
as you come in towards the Repair truck,use your hat switch (or numberpad) to look around for a soldier or two.They CAN snipe you out of the cockpit,provided that you are hovering,or flying real slow.
And make sure that you are in 3rd person view,as this gives you the best view of your surroundings.
