I will stick with Army Helicopters to explain. In the 60s the Army was various versions of the UH-1 in Vietnam. Any where for 3500 to 5000 were reported as lost. Not all were shot down or downed from enemy fire. It was a new design. In the 80s the Army start to move to the UH-60 Blackhawk. That thing was new and was nicknamed the crashawk and the lawn dart. The latter because it was a the Army's first fly by wire system and if it flew at a certain elevation at a certain speed above high voltage wires it would **** with the elevators and cause the acft to nose over. Some say it was a myth but I recall being in a unit that had both Hueys and 60s. The 60s were restriced to a certain airspeed and elevation for a short time.
Point being ow technology is not perfect.
