One thing that's bugging me is that the overwhelming majority of us firmly believe in the importance and benefits of LL training but the Americans seem to differ. An earlier post stated:
If we are not careful we will end up like the Americans where low flying is a 'Special Ops' skill only
We fly in the same theatres against the same threats as the US. Why do they not train for it? It can't be the nuisance factor as they have massive amounts of training acreage in their own back yard. I would find it hard to believe they don't do it on cost grounds. Perhaps they place too much faith in their overwhelming firepower and airspace denial capabilities, to the extent that they do not consider NOE tactically necessary. Or maybe they see their losses as an acceptable risk that does not require investment in additional training hours to reduce.
Discuss.
