These helos are feared, and rightly so.

The only reason I can think of, is that the US does not want the sophisticated electronic suites to fall into Russian hands if a ship would be shot down.

who knows?

The KA52 is just as good, so l doubt it's because of tech. If it is because of tech give the Ukies Cobras, still extremely potent
