This is good news, if the RoE permits the Apache Crews to lay a little lumber.
Brian, I suspect that the political imperative includes a small footprint on the ground. Deploying A-10's probably won't meet that mission constraint.
While I like the idea, I don't think that's going to be how it looks.

Yep, the HIND was brought down by an ISIL operator with a FN6 MANPAD. Seems there's a roaring trade in them if you believe some of the stuff appearing in social media with one line that I saw describing how an Iraqi army officer had SA-16 for sale to the highest bidder. And people wonder why I'm so sceptical about claims that there are good or bad guys in this particular shooting match.
Looks like it's a return to the bad old days for rotary crews in Iraq.
