MAD Boom, comparing the WAH-64 with SH does you a disservice.
Is their role not more closely akin to that of an FJ CAS asset (or a flying tank) as opposed to that of a support heli. For that Ivan had it fairly well nailed with their Mil 24s.

Admittedly it has lifted Royal into a hot LZ, but in fairness the Harrier & Tornado couldn't do that nor lift an USL.
