Don’t know about that but I would say they might be concerned about systems support from the USA with trump or any maggot type in charge.whos to know if they would continue to support any system unless they supported whatever the maggots are pushing at the moment.no sane country should give up control over something so important to their survival.

Helicopters are outdated on today's battlefield.

Still for efficient for transport and also picking up wounded out from the battlefield, or close by

What a stupid way to bash Trump and the USA lol. An article based on what some Korean  congressman says LOL.

 

And the conclusion, from the article

 

"A final note here is that often times pundits and the media will portray something as totally irrelevant or relevant. This binary, ‘black and white’ positioning makes for a good headline, but it usually isn’t anywhere near representative of the nuanced reality we live in. The AH-64 and other attack helicopters still have their uses and are an important component of combined arms strategy today, but that does not mean expanding their fleet size or even maintaining the current fleet size is logical. A reduced force balanced against new capabilities can be a prudent solution and this can be realized over time as the existing force needs deep upgrades and overhaul. On the other hand, if the force is too small it won’t be operationally relevant and it will be very costly to maintain for its size. So a balance is needed here, as well."

Its an accidental misspell of an increasingly common homophone, MAGATs. Internet analysis shows interest or usage of the term in a political context  started in July 2024.
