Black Edge — MH-47G Air Assault with AH-64E Escort in Hostile Terrain
In the unforgiving realm of modern warfare, few operations demand more precision, coordination, and survivability than an air assault into hostile territory. Whether inserting special operations forces or extracting high-value targets under fire, every second in the air is a calculated risk. The success of such missions hinges not just on firepower, but on seamless integration between aircraft, sensors, and human decision-making.
