True, that's why you'd probably want it designed to be able to engage incoming SAMs too, if that's technically feasible.  If not, then I guess the gunship wouldn't be a replacement for the concept of a well rounded military, but it might still be a useful tool.

Hawker,

Your contributions are, as always, appreciated.  Your post has brought an entire new dimension to this discussion, and your words have spread light where there was once dark.

Sir, I thank you deeply.

Best regards,
