Anyone's got a more detailed report? I can see how a modern attack helicopter could down a plane; a stinger missile is a stinger missile no matter the launch platform. They might even be able to score cannon hits on a subsonic plane, the heck do I know.
But that weird-ass host suggests US Army helicopters soundly beat like every plane in the Air Force's inventory – including the F-15 – in war games once. So soundly, in fact, that the Air Force didn't even know what'd hit 'em.
Did that happen for real? And if it'd happened, how come we don't all use helicopters in an air defence role?
