As far as transport copters, the Iraqis had plenty of actual big Russian

4-seat?? I think that you'll find that Bell 214STs are considerably
larger than that!

I was referring to the Defenders, forgot about the "Super Transport"
214ST... lots of seats, no external hardpoints.

But still very tiny when compared to the monster Russian copters that
were in service in Iraq.

....and according to this story, only two of them were still in service
as of January...
