"The final issue regarding helicopters on the battlefield comes down to an unpleasant premise. The United States may not always be conducting war with a third-world country. It is clear that any competent army armed with sophisticated anti-aircraft weaponry or aviation assets, will quickly drive our fleet of attack and reconnaissance helicopters from the sky, rendering them to a marginal role as a vehicle used for air evacuation and mop-up operations. "

There you go - that operation probably cost 1m. Meanwhile, defense contractors suck 300,000b or more out of the US every year with very few results. All they've ever done is fucked us up, put soldiers in harms way, and all so the people who actually fight can come home and get neglected. Shitbags. And fuckin Haliburton had the nerve to try to leave the US for tax reasons!! They're the biggest private cost and the biggest lobby, but no one says anything because they equate them with actual soldiers. /rantComment

I do not believe helicopters are on their way out. Having the weapons to take down a helicopter and the ability is two different things. All countries have anti aircraft measures; Vietnam did in the 1960s/1970s including the Type 63 and the ZSU 57 - deadly for helicopters for sure, yet helicopters were an important part of the war. Iraq had a massive anti aircraft ability, but the very first strike of the Iraq war destroyed any attempt at anti aircraft defense.
While targeting measures are much more sophisticated, it works both ways. An anti aircraft missile system can target a helicopter from a longer distance but at the very same time land based missile systems are tracked in real time and can be taken out by ships at sea.
Ironically, the best anti aircraft defense might be the old school Stingers. No one knows where one might pop up, turn it on, shoot, walk away before any action can be taken.
Helicopters have evolved to a point now where they are more like planes.

Read the whole article. It addresses Vietnam too.
"The combat record of the helicopter in Vietnam was different from subsequent battlefields. That was true by virtue of the limitations of the Viet Cong-NVA firing accuracy, the limitations of their weaponry - including quantity - and the visual limitations of the jungle or forests which served to protect the helicopters flying overhead."
"The harsh reality is that today the helicopter is a terrible choice of troop transport or firepower against any competent or well-equipped force - of any size
Whether in Mogadishu 10 years ago or Iraq today, the helicopter equation has changed for the worse. Typically, the adversary's ground arms are more available. And whether by luck or skill, the effectiveness of enemy ordnance is far greater than that experienced in Vietnam."
The Helicopter's Grim Future in Modern Combat
Iraq had some anti-AA stuff, yes, but its military lacked will and training, and under these conditions the desert environment favoured US troops. Especially as Iraq didn't have that good airforce combined with other measures; those can for example be used to sink the ships you mentioned. In Falkland it was noticed that ships are quite vulnerable even for a tad potent enemy.
Some SAM missile ground stations are not that much alone.
" After this episode, the Iraqis made no more air efforts of their own, only sending most of their jets to Iran in hopes that they might someday get their air force back. Iran never returned the jets."

LOL. Fucking good use to have jets in Iran.

I think you mis understand the concept of thinking something is cool or amazing versus actions. Military capabilities and technology is quite an amazing things some times. However just because someone finds it amazing doesn't mean they relish in the thoughts of war, death or killing. Don't be so quick to hate everything..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

crucisfissio knows with complete certainty how fucking BADASS that op image is.
he just can't admit it.Comment
-
I get the tone of your message, but not the English that much. However, my point was seeing that as vulnerable situation, not as some bad-ass situation.Comment

everything in battle has a vulnerability the enemy can exploit. that's just a fact of war. there is no guaranteed strategy using a perfect weapon with perfect means of supply.
you also do not know the context of that image, that could be a quick strike task force that can be deployed anywhere within 48 hours or something. that water crossing supply could be heavily defensed, supported by a variety of vessels that can monitor that flight situation and respond instantly to threats. there could be literally no other way to deploy forces to a particular region other than flying them in like that.
our military prepares and trains for every contigency, having to go to where the hostilities are, wherever they are, is part of that.Comment

they fight just as much for me as they do for you= not at all
you basically, horribly over pay the military, to make new enemies abroad of people who never did shit to the USA...the whole time the USA is in no danger whatsoever and the violence is completely uncalled for, and all other countries, somehow, do not invade like the USA
man you have to be a stupid mother fucker to glorify your pimps arsenal "look at what I got my pimp so that he can send me to work"

next, i'm not glorifying shit. that is a fucking impressive feat of modern technology and i can appreciate it for the complexity and accomplishment. i don't need to include some fucking disclaimer explaining to some fuckwad east eurotard my overall view on war and the cost of military in every fucking thread that has a BADASS picture of military aviation.Comment

Looks like a standard midair refueling. Well, standard for the US.
I'd be surpised if they weren't doing stuff like that.
And the only thing "just because" about this particular shot would be if it was a training exercise. But if it's a shot of actual deployment going on then there is no "just cuz" about it.
Nice to see Crucifissio in here singing his same old song. He's still peeved over the fact that the USA, NATO, the UN, UK, Canada, and basically the entire rest of the world had something to say about his country's desire to turn their neighboring province's cities and towns to ash. I mean really, what nerve. The US are such bullies! Can't even let your army go out and rape ten or twenty thousand women without them sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong.
Now prepare yourselves for the crucifissio patented flying laughing smiley attack ==>
For only he knows the truth of everything. The rest of us are all CNN brainwashed. No chance in hell that he's swallowed the Milosevic coolaid. Uh uh, no way. He's like the Serb version of Homer Simpson staying home on a Sunday while his family is at church, saying "Everyone in the world is stupid except me".
