At the airshow at Leuchars Air Force MH-53 crews discussed some of the mission sets they were going to have to give up when converting to the 22. They did not go into real detail other than saying their view was it was due to some deal at very high positions on the Totem Pole that was driving it.

The tactical issues can be sensitive I am sure but in reality....as open source documents are bringing these limitations into view....no more damage is going to be done here as anywhere else.

I am sure some bad guys have their scissors, graph paper, and rulers and are comparing public source data and drawing out some layouts. They are pretty smart folks sometimes....and they are very good at thinking out counter measures to our tactics.....and we best be aware of that and doing the same to them.

That is why we have the advantage....we can draw upon some pretty amazing resources well in advance than what they can. We just have to be smart enough to stay ahead of the curve.
