SAMs were supplied by us to the Afghan mujahedin guerrillas in the 1980s. I have read reports that SAMs have downed other US copters in Afghan also.
Point being...if it wasn't SAMs that downed the helicopter but instead it was a lucky shot by a grenade launcher, then why would we not worry about 20k missing weapons that are more capable then RPGs?
