A great video proving our point: if these STOL aircraft once in the air can get over 200+ mph….you have to ask what’s the benefit of more expensive, louder, slower, IR hotter exhaust VTOL helicopters?
For example, the U.S. Army designation UV-18 Twin Otter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_DHC-6_Twin_Otter
Quote:
“Maximum speed: 183 knots (210 mph (340 km/h))”
We used to have UV-18s so there’s no excuse why the Army doesn’t have some NOW to resupply and maneuver small recce teams in Afghanistan.
Moreover, a smaller diesel piston-engined STOL plane can be engine exhaust muffled to be ZERO offering no MANPADS SAM infared signature and be co-located with the ground maneuver units they are providing maneuver air support. The words of former Iraqi Coalition Authority Director of Air Ops, Major General George Molan, Australian Defence Forces:
“Even in this, the highest technology war in history, there is a role for a man in a light manoeuvrable aircraft who can use his initiative, report and transfer data, remain on station with the ground troops day and night and most importantly, establish a personal relationship with the warriors.
I do not accept the argument that a manned aircraft cannot be used … due to the threat. I believe that this argument has been confused by the control of training and operations of the aircraft by the U.S. Air Force in Iraq.
The threat to the pilot of … aircraft in Iraq operations … is far less than to the equivalent Soldier on the ground in an equally expensive and complicated armoured vehicle. The benefit in having a pilot in the loop in talking to troops on the ground is priceless, particularly in less highly technically advanced armed forces.
The threat to a pilot manoevring low to optimise his effectiveness is not at all unreasonable in an Iraq-like insurgency. Threat is relative and should not be judged by highly sophisticated U.S. standards.”

Part 1 of 3 Jeremy Scahill, a Nation Magazine contributor, Democracy Now correspondent, and author of “Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army”, speaks in San Diego on May 1 2007. In Part 1, Jeremy Scahill tells the story behind the iconic images of the four Blackwater civilian security contractors who were killed and mutilated, their charred bodies hung from a bridge in Fallujah, an incident that further inflamed violence throughout Iraq. Scahill explains the inherent flaws in deploying private contract security forces into a war zone and details the tragic sequence of events that led the four American men from distinguished military careers to their doom as civilian contractors. Scahill also describes how founder and former Navy SEAL Erik Prince developed Blackwater into one of the world’s largest private security companies by providing outsourced services in the wake of cataclysmic events such the Columbine High School shootings, the USS Cole bombing, and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Additionally, Scahill explores Prince’s extensive personal and political links to powerful figures within the “Religious Right.”

U.S. military officials in Baghdad said that coalition forces killed an estimated 10 to 14 insurgents and captured eight others after they were spotted firing a truck-mounted anti-aircraft gun at a farmhouse northeast of Karmah.
The military said intelligence reports and surveillance of a known al-Qaida in Iraq meeting spot led troops to discover three trucks, two of which were mounted with anti-aircraft artillery weapons. The vehicles were followed, and after the insurgents started firing the guns at two houses, it was determined that they were practicing for possible future attacks against coalition troops, according to a Multi-National Forces-Iraq news release.

President Bush announces the start of the ground war in Kuwait, and why it was necessary. This video comes from one of my VHS tapes of the 1991 gulf war.
Desert Storm: The Land War
By 24 February 1991, airpower had weakened Iraq’s land forces in Kuwait to the point where the UN commander, General Schwarzkopf, felt ready to launch a land offensive. Early that morning, UN land forces attacked along a broad front from the Persian Gulf to Rafha on the Iraqi‐Saudi border. This attack had two principal thrusts: a massive, highly mobile “left hook” around and through Iraqi positions to the west of Kuwait to envelop the elite Republican Guard; and a thrust straight through Iraq’s defenses along the Kuwaiti border designed to fix the forward Iraqi divisions.
The “left hook” was carried out by a mix of U.S., British, and French armored and airborne forces. The armored VII Corps deployed four armored divisions, one of them British, for the main thrust. Its western flank was protected by the U.S. XVIII Airborne Corps, composed of three U.S. divisions—the 82nd Airborne, the 101st Air Mobile, and the 24th Infantry (Mechanized)—and the French 6th Light Armored Division. They advanced toward the Iraqi cities of Salman, west of Kuwait, and Nasiriya on the Euphrates River, and attacked in an arc to the northeast toward the main routes of communication leading north from Kuwait toward Basra in Iraq. French forces led the attack toward the Iraqi lines of communication along the Euphrates. U.S. armored, mechanized, and attack helicopter forces advanced rapidly toward Basra in the leading edge of the “left hook.” British forces guarded the U.S. flank and attacked to the northeast across the gorge of al‐Batin along the Iraqi‐Kuwaiti border.
The other thrust—directly north through the Iraqi positions along the Kuwaiti border—was carried out by the I Marine Expeditionary Force, and an all‐Arab corps composed primarily of the Saudi Army and Egyptian units. These forces rapidly penetrated Iraq’s forward defenses and advanced so swiftly that Iraq’s shattered ground forces in Kuwait could only launch scattered counterattacks. As a result, the allies rushed toward Kuwait City, Wafrah, and Jahrah.
Though some Iraqi Republican Guard units fought well, the bulk of Iraq’s army consisted of poorly trained conscripts with low morale and little motivation. Many Iraqi troops fled after putting up only brief resistance and others were taken prisoner. As a result, UN forces reached their major objectives in Kuwait in half the time originally planned. At the same time, the Coalition continued its air attacks, dropping a total of 88,500 tons of ordnance. U.S. and British air units used 6,520 tons of precision‐guided weapons and destroyed or damaged 54 bridges. These attacks helped to end the war by cutting off Iraqi land forces from the roads along the Tigris River north of Basra, although UN forces did not have time to encircle fully or cut off all Iraqi forces, or to use airpower to destroy the retreating Iraqi forces around Basra.
By 26 February, Coalition land forces were in Kuwait City, and U.S. forces had advanced to positions in Iraq to the south of Nasiriya. Many of these advances had taken place at night and all occurred in spite of major rainfalls, substantial amounts of mud, and weather problems hampering the ability to provide air support. These advances effectively ended the war.
Baghdad radio announced on 26 February that all Iraqi forces would withdraw from Kuwait in compliance with UN Resolution 660. A day later, President Bush declared that the United States would halt military operations early in the morning of 28 February, a week after the land offensive had begun. A cease‐fire was negotiated on 3 March and formally signed on 6 April. IRAQ AGREED TO ABIDE BY ALL THE U.N. RESOLUTIONS.
