          Vyacheslav, far to go to you, because of the seeds. It used to be beautiful - the whole garden in colorful poppies - without exaggeration. Yes, they are not enough - it was not necessary to fight poppies. There was krasatin from them.

    I naively believe that the BlackHock fell / was shot down, because if it were a Mi-17, then it would be broadcast from every iron.

      Probably still shot down. The Taliban leader said that in May the Taliban will begin to nightmare mattresses throughout the territory, and therefore turned to residents so that they would stay away from American bases and convoys. It seems like they started. The United States, as a rule, is in no hurry to acknowledge its losses, let alone to make them public, until the number of victims of military service becomes significant. We will look further. If US losses are not limited to this incident, then the Taliban really went on a "big hunt."
