First of all if your only airdefence are some medium calibre AAA and shoulder fired missiles perhaps you shouldn’t buy any attack helos. Any fighter with a modern radar and modest AAM would be able to wipe out your fleet very quickly.
Does this reputible source of your give reasons for discounting the Havoc and Cobra from the running?
It is well known that an attack helicopter crew, properly trained in air-to-air combat and equipted with air-to-air missiles can take out any ground attack fighter. Even more effective if they have early warning systems (ground or areial) to direct their attack.
Catching the whole fleet on the tarmac is a different story!
