I’m skeptical of deep attack helicopter missions behind enemy lines and deep air assault missions, which is part of what the Army wants its new MV-75 to do:
Air assault raids under hostile fire, forcible entry seizing enemy ground, life saving medical evacuation, island-hopping in the Pacific, logistical support and high-speed force transport .. are just a few of the many operations the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne has planned for its newly arriving MV-75 Cheyenne tiltrotor aircraft.
But I am fully on board the island-hopping in one part of the Pacific. Although this new division's MDTF is seemingly more in need of the M-75 (and something larger, too, for its large truck-fired missiles) for the Taiwan mission, no?
Or maybe add more compact missile systems to the MDTF. Not every missile needs to move from the Philippines to Taiwan, eh?
