#3 My guess is that there was only a couple of groups that had the anti-air equipment. Simply a matter of time to locate and terminate.

#4 Knowing our guys, they probably set up a hunter killer op, with one bird acting as bait while one or more others kept watch.

As soon as the missile is launched, its launch position comes under some hairy fire from one or two low angles. And because the bait helicopter is light loaded and expecting fire, it is ready to avoid or countermeasure quickly.

Still some very brave dudes.
