Large numbers of attack and transport helicopters have been destroyed during the current unpleasantness in Ukraine,but of the three helicopters proposed herein for An Independent Army For An Independent Nation,Hector,Hercules and Hermes,Hector shall be used only for training and other light duties within the domestic base area and Hercules shall be used for both training and operational tasks but not for combat tasks,however,thanks to it's large useful load and long range weapons and sensors,Hermes shall be able to land ground troops,with protected vehicles,and attack air and surface targets from tens of miles beyond the threat of hostile air defence systems,unlike the Apache attack helicopter,which has a large signature in the visual,thermal,acoustic and radio spectrums and which must fly at low altitude and slow speed within five miles of the enemy in order to use it's short range weapons,and the Puma transport helicopter (or whatever it's replacement may be),which must deploy troops close to the enemy because it lacks the payload to carry protected vehicles,those who fail to study history shall be doomed to repeat it,but those who study physics shall know the future.
