Its an even worse look for the US if shrapnel was enough to down the thing...

Iran will just build catapults to throw rocks at their helis from now on if thats enough lmao

    No it's not. Nothing is invincible. Doesn't matter how much armour you put on a helicopter or a jet, there will be weak spots (rotors, intakes, etc).

    Loosing a single helicopter in a fluke is not a bad look. If it happens frequently that's a different story.
