    Ha! Wait till you hear about scout helicopters.

    • no armor, no 120mm, still consumes as much fuel as armored vehicles
    • Any hit to any rotor (big or small) takes it out
    • Any damage to the thin tail boom can cause a crash
    • Cockpit not just exposed and vulnerable, but can also easily be hit from the ground
    • Flies low and slow so they get shot easily
    • Cannot operate high in the mountains because of thin air
    • Cannot operate too close to the ground because of sand in engines and optics
    • Is inherently unstable and constantly trying to kill all occupants
    • Literally became useless the moment drones were invented
