bnther36 is wrong; STOL grasshoppers are available like the twin-engined UV-18 that fly over 200 mph. Moreover, if the U.S. military specified over 200 mph speeds, a single-engined STOL grasshopper could be obtained. Don’t be narrow-minded and anal.

The rotorheads would not want 10000+ STOL grasshoppers in the U.S. Army Aviation arsenal. But dynmicpara if were to be general of the U.S. Army, you can fight Afghanistan FAR more effectively and defeat a low tech adversary like the Taliban.
