Matt,

Blackhawks? Not likely. For the same reasons the Army uses Humvees
instead of APCs to ferry soldiers. It would be great if all US
soldiers could have the protection of an APC all the time. But because
of logistics and cost it is just not practical.

The Army learned a tough lesson in Iraq by not having enough Humvees
with adequate armor early on. This forced soldiers to develop
improvised armor from what ever steel plate they could scavange.

They won't make the same mistake with the ARH.
