Such an aircraft would be a significant advantage to troops in an environment like Iraq, a Bell official said, enabling them to reduce vulnerability to the roadside bombs and rocket-propelled grenades that have taken such a toll on both humans and vehicles.Timely. I think the Israelis would love to have this at their disposal currently.

I don't see it. To make these work they have to be light-weight..which means less armor.
Whereas the battlefield trend is to more armor. Buy 1,000 of these and the Democrats will scream that we are sending out our troops without good armor protection.
