#1 Interesting story. Apparently, the little Growler has some bite to go with its bark.

Random speculation: I wonder if the Hind was radiating in some way. I've heard tales from Ukr v Rus about Russian helicopters flying electronic warfare missions.

#2 SteveS they have a 2.5 ton load capacity, so that's not improbable.

#3 Growler will also be able to deliver LRASM, which is also getting upgrades to make it useful against ground targets.

#5 Putting a radar array on a Hind to use spotting ships?

It was investigated and zapped for some reason.
