Notice how Comanche was cancelled in favour of continued Kiowa / Apache teams; stealth undermined by cost.

Amadeu Kiowa was murdered by Neonazis in 1990.

Miraculously, the single infantry platoon near the crash site managed to secure the pilots and hold their ground long enough for the engineers to send a combat wrecker, pull the burning hulk of the Kiowa onto the flatbed, and get everyone out.

In the above story, the 2nd Kiowa was pounding the hell out of the ground but had to leave station as it was running low on ammo and 2 down helos is a really bad place to be in the middle of a very angry city.

There's Sikorsky's X2 and AVX's modified Kiowa.
