Maybe no more vulnerable to being shot at.. but the effect of being hit?


Although there are no perfect survivability systems out there, the
systems on the Osprey are 1) more numerous and 2) more advanced, than
the survivability systems on the CH-46


SNIP

At least the CH-46 gets to auto-rotate if hit...

And comparing the "brand new" V-22 with the CH-46 which is how old? (And
last up-graded?) says a lot for just how good the V-22 must be...

How does it compare with a modern military helicopter? Heck, how does it
compare in survivability with even a Blackhawk?
