And he is not making that up either.

If troop-carrying helicopters are sighted, they should be engaged and not the parachuting or rappelling troops.

Note: The helicopter is a better target. The Geneva Convention prohibits the engaging of the aircraft crews if they are parachuting out of damaged aircraft. Paratroopers jumping from a damaged aircraft are not protected while in the air.
