Perhaps. However, according to U.K. military spokesman Lt.Col. Rory Bruce, it is believed to be the first time British forces ever tried this type of rescue mission. They were incredibly brave, considering that the mobility of this type of helicopter would have been heavily restricted and extremely vulnerable throughout the operation. Any loss would have been a propaganda coup for the enemy. I have been following closely all stories of shortages and substandard equipment. Land vehicles have been a topic of much discussion also. Obviously, this is not an isolated incident.
