Isn't that an Army thing? I thought all Navy units deployed with and brought their same aircraft home with them.
Not always, there are exceptions.

Nor has there been much excess weight/space/power to provide for such a system.H-53s and H-46s have had some form of DIRCM for awhile. Like @Gatordev said, I just don't think there's been enough need for it on the Navy fleet helos.

Ugh. TOF was about 5sec. Not a lot of time to react.
The Russians just lost a helo and crew in Syria - looks like it got hit in the tail rotor.

I am dubious it was a wire-guided TOW. But I've been wrong before. The last Russian helo that was hit by a TOW was not in the air at the time.
Worst wingman ever. Visual? Meh, just shoot, that'll teach lead to take too long to call off....or friendly fire from the wingman employing rockets behind lead...
Looks like what Brett said or a catastrophic failure. You can see a TOW, and I didn't see a TOW, and TOWs aren't very good at hitting a fast moving target.
I can see that.........did a skid guy have a bad day with an Abrams at 29 Palms?Tanks can maintain good tracking solutions on us with their main guns.
