This is 2 shot down now?
What altitude are they flying at? Small arms fire downing them???
I read that some shoulder fired rocket was used against the earlier one. I also remember Russia selling iran shoulder fired rockets to iran and us "warning" them that we better not see them in use in Iraq.
I wonder....

Helicopters fly very low to limit their exposure to groundfire.
During their war in Afganistan, we supplied the mujahadeen with something like 2,000 stingers. It looks like Iran is a student of history and is doing to us what we did to the USSR.
