More on helicopters …

The AH-64 Apache shot down during the Najaf ‘cult’ battle was reportedly brought down by heavy machine-gun fire. The same was apparently true for the Blackwater helicopter brought down in Iraq a week ago. The same appears to have been the case in the one that went down today.

The Black Hawk helicopter shot northeast of Baghdad on January 20th was reportedly brought down by a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile.
