Abstrakt: The article discusses how several U.S. helicopters have gone down in Iraq, with 6 crashes in 3 weeks, suggesting that new tactics have been adopted by the insurgents. Seemingly, the insurgents have learned American flight patterns and ways to use old weapons to down helicopters. U.S. military officials think the aircraft were hit by small arms' fire, but in some cases missiles had been fired from the ground.
