Brigadier General William Jacobs, Deputy Commanding General at the US Army Aviation Center, Ft. Rucker, said last year that the “number one threat” to helicopters flying at low level in Iraq was “the potential for a collision with a UAV.”
That'll be apart from the wires and pylons, NVG ops over a flat, low contrast surface, people shooting at you and the occasional MANPAD!

Does this guy have the slightest idea of what is actually happening out there??
