[edit] Logical flaw?
In the second paragraph of the article (without a citation...) the author states that helicopter pilots will often fly low to avoid radar for no longer then five minutes at a time unless they're over flat terrain due to pilot strain. However over flat terrain one would assume the objective would largely be lost as the whole idea is to shelter your aircraft from radar behind hills and valleys and such. I don't have any research or anything but that seems flawed. But I could be wrong. And it would seem a choice between pilot strain and getting hit with a SAM would not require much deliberation.
