What's happening with the Afghan Mi-24's that are being re-furbed, are they likely to be able to help out in the HP? Further, did the ruskies have this hot and high problem when they fought the long and extended war? they always seemed to have loads in the air, from documentary footage etc, and I think I read that loads got shot down by US funded Stingers, so they must have had quite a few capable of operating in this environment.
Why can't we lease some of them?
