In a recent issue of AW&ST I saw a picture of a helicopter with 2
pods of 4 hellfire missiles (what a great name) each. It seems to
me that they could fit more than 8 on one helicopter. I would guess 
that the helicopter has to travel a hundred miles or so before it
reaches the enemy. Then it only gets 8 shots and has to return to
base. Wouldn't it be better to carry 20 or 30 and really have some 
fun?

How do these Hellfires work anyway?
How much do they cost?
