I will seldom (if ever) go after helos unless i’m already low and it’s an area I know to be clear. Just too many manpads and low-alt weapons to chew you up for it to be worth it…
Yeah most of the time choppers wud keep in the defensive umbrella of ground forces they are protecting. SA19,SA7 squads ect ect.
Pretty risky ground for any jet to fly at low angels.
