You are correct, my good woman. It's a capability that was inherent when the design was first introduced in the late 1970's and 30 years of throwing money at the problem has only enhanced it. All that & it's less maneuverable than a helo so it'll be a slower, easier target for insurgent fire. I pray for every poor slob who has to ride in one of those flying merde boxes.
