They possibly where? - However this crash took place in some very brutal terrain which does not lend itself for putting down cover fire very well - (Crash happened around 10,000ft) - I am sure this altitude and the terrain played a large role in the MH47 not surviving the RPG round (without finding a safe LZ).

These guys were going in to help another US SOF unit (units) that were on the ground engaged -
