To be fair, its hard to make a bad choice from that list - they are all good helos and given well trained crews they are all very useful.

Aren't these slated to be manufactured by ADI, Brown & Root and Hawker Pacific in Australia?

I thought Australia was going to use the South African Rooivalk? Or was that someone else in the SE Asia area?

Anti-tank helli? You are 20 years retard! ;)

Who needs an "anti-tank helli" in 2004?

You should ask : " Is this the best war on terror - Close air support helli? " :D
