Mobile Armoured AA aren't invunerable. Quad-Radar Controlled 25mm cannon, the same principal on the 2cm Vierling Wiberwind. How were they overcome? Infantry.

Long-range aircraft, you don't have to just use helicopters.

On top of that, that's like saying we couldn't take bridges in World War 2 because they were guarded by infantry. Spec Ops are generally very talented at such tasks.

Of course, you can exclude one link out of whole chain, name it archaic, and rely on that it can be replaced by others. Why we need tanks, if we can use infantry, or chopters, or longrange missles and and... .
But analogical we can say that attack helis could be replaced. Or anything else.
