wouldn't have thought tanks were the answer - but as an aviator i know nothing about armour, glad to leave that to the army. Though I hear IED and flat bottom hulls don't mix well.
However, having carried the odd injured army dude out of theatre after being in a bushmaster I can only imagine that other defence forces are envious of the ADF.
They need quick response support WHEN they need it. Would be nice if we had our own dedicated air support but are they ready and the chinooks got sucked up into the US system whats stopping the ARH being sucked up into the same system.
Also, if we were deployed ARH would we have enough crews/spares for year round deployment or only "seasonal" like the chooks, and if seasonal then what will they use in the off season?
Handing over.....
