Matt,
In the 21st century the task of pure "RECON" is performed by UAVs. There is no reason to risk American soldiers lives when a machine can accomplish the same task. For missions requiring insertion, extraction or precision close air support, with current technology you need a man (on site) in the loop. Don't get caught up in the acronym ARH. The Armys ARH RFP (Request for Proposal) is for a medium armored and armed helicopter. Again, I think the Little Bird is a great machine. But if you are sending soldiers into hot urban areas, IMHO you want armor. The 407 can carry more armor, carry it further and carry more armament to boot. Take care, CTR |
