Yes well then how do you expect the Army to fight when the enemy helicopters come in above and take out 200 Al Khalid tanks with missiles from Helcopters ? The Al Khalids don't come with anti helicopter weapons - ? do they
The baktarshikens we got only work if a solider sets it up in open , if enemy has a helicopter shooting away while hoovering do you think the soliders will get a chance to setup those baktarshikens ?
Or how about scenarios when 20,000 soldiers are stuck on a difficult mountain terrain and they need food and petrol supplies how will the
F16 land on a mountain
Or How about When you have a natural desaster and you need to rush in supplies to 300 people stranded where there are no fancy airport runways
Or How about you plan to neutralize 30-40 Enemy combatants in urban areas ? The F16 will fly over the building over and over again , the pilot can hoover over and shot and kill running combatants on foot or in vehicles ? can he
The bottom line ins Helicoptors provide a powerful Punch against opposing nation's Tanks and ground units -
Yes its not good vs Fighter planes but its role is for support for ground unit's success-
We need 100 Transport helicopters
We need 100 Attack configuration choopers
We need 100 Multipurpose Helicopters for All purpose usage
The chooper is also a important vehicle to move troops from one location to another and to fly them also out from danger out to safer higher grounds -
Its a tactical Item -
Currently our Army with no Helicopters is no different then Iraq's Army it can't protect its airspace and it has no helicopters to launch deadly attacks on enemy Tanks with rockets
The helicopter is mainly suppose to reside with Army units for their operation for ground success -
The fighter planes are more for providing High Altitude and Air Superiority - Helicopters are not for Air Superiority but more as a added tactical item for Generals on ground
Heck you can move 20 commandos behind enemy lines with a helicopter and they do all sorta funky things ....Helicopters are a MUST
And not to mention - just providing that extra COVER for ground units - from other army
Fighter planes are like Hammer you use it to put nail in wall
The Helicopters are more like screw drivers to put scres in the wall
If the Army needs to screw enemy needs helicopters
if it needs to nail down a Enemy it will use F16, Thunders, and J10B
Also I have never seen a F16 airlift a injured solider before nor has it ever produced a escort to a group of military convoy while flying low altitude and provideing eye sight 360 degrees to ground realities from all sides so the military convoy is not ambused ??
F16 will do a flyby and then come back 15 min later after burning up half of its fuel and then it will need to land back in airport leaving the military convoy at mercy of enemy
Wow, you have a lot of time on your hands.
Anyway, i was just referring to combat choppers.
You don't run supplies and logistics with them, or do you?
