Look at all the Blackhawks and Apaches that have been lost in Afghanistan and
Iraq. A lot have been damaged by the simplest of weapons, namely the RPG-7 and
assorted Kalashnikov rifles/machineguns.

I'm not aware of any cases where military helicopters have been downed by
handheld rifles and machine guns.

The RPG's seem to work though - and that's where a lot of the RAH-66 funding
is supposedly going.  RPG/AA Missile defense systems for helicopters.

And there's no such system as an RPG missile defence system, but apart from that
I liked your post.
