Apaches have been downed by ak-47 fire, so any missile is a threat. Helicopters have been over-relied upon for precision strikes. If you have a specific target to ventilate, use an A-10. Otherwise, it’s time to stop risking our men and just go back to carpet bombing. In Iran, it’s much easier than Iraq - shoot anything over 25.

Which are highly vulnerable to IR MANPADS as the Air Force learned in Desert Storm.

While Iran leaders are looking toward “big Satan” maybe “little Satan” will bloody their rear. They are about in panic mode by not knowing when,what,where and how. Beside that they are stupid to think that Hussein will attack his
brothers !

We don’t need to use Apaches in Iran. We have a very clear objective there that can be achieved with a limited use of helicopters.
