▁this ▁resulted ▁in ▁the ▁highest ▁losses , ▁six ▁attack ▁hel ic op ters . ▁However , ▁this ▁scenario ▁also ▁resulted ▁in ▁the ▁highest ▁total ▁losses ▁to ▁the ▁attack ing ▁force , ▁with ▁ 7 3 ▁vehicles ▁killed , ▁for ▁an ▁exchange ▁ratio ▁of ▁ 1 2 ▁to ▁ 1 . ▁Over ▁the ▁entire ▁series ▁of ▁runs , ▁the ▁h unter / k iller ▁teams ▁killed ▁ 1 6 7 ▁vehicles ▁for ▁the ▁loss ▁of ▁ 6 ▁hel ic op ters ▁for ▁an ▁exchange ▁of ▁ 1 1 ▁to ▁ 1 , ▁and ▁the ▁all - att ack ▁teams ▁killed ▁ 1 2 7 ▁vehicles ▁for ▁six ▁losses , ▁a ▁ratio ▁of ▁almost ▁ 1 5 ▁to ▁ 1 . ▁ ▁The ▁take away ▁results ▁of ▁the ▁tests ▁were ▁two fold : ▁ ▁and : ▁ ▁Ser ious ▁questions ▁about ▁the ▁reality ▁of ▁these ▁simulations ▁were ▁raised . ▁Most ▁obvious ▁was ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁air ▁miss ions ▁on ▁the ▁Red ▁Force ▁side , ▁which ▁it ▁was ▁suggested ▁would ▁at ▁least ▁restrict ▁the ▁mob ility ▁of ▁the ▁hel ic op ters . ▁Additionally , ▁the ▁strong ▁art illery ▁backing ▁normally ▁present ▁could ▁be ▁an ▁effective ▁anti - hel ic opter ▁weapon , ▁or ▁at ▁least ▁drive ▁them ▁away ▁from ▁good ▁amb ush ▁sp ots . ▁Finally , ▁no ▁reconna issance ▁forces ▁were ▁present ▁on ▁the ▁Red ▁Force ▁side , ▁which ▁might ▁spot ▁the ▁hel ic op ters ▁before ▁the ▁vehicles ▁approached . ▁Another ▁concern ▁was ▁that ▁the ▁Cob ra ▁was ▁only ▁equ ipped ▁for ▁day
