Didn't we just do something like that in Iran? Not helicopters, but we still secured the airspace just the same.

Securing airspace for fancy stealth bombers is rather different from securing airspace for helicopters you can shoot down with just about anything.

  • If you mean during the israel-iran war, israel was allegedly using non-stealth planes once the airspace was secure.

    Still probably quite a bit different then helicopter inserted decapitation strike.
