How many do they have left. They lost about 5 this week.

Different angle than the one we have been seeing in all the other threads.

So the pilot threw his hands up and said "Inshallah" as soon as it got a little out of shape?

Why we didn't send a few cruise missiles into that area I'll never know

Of course it was.  

I am surprised they even figured out how to turn it on.

Never watched the numbers before, but we left a quarter of a million rifles behind?
WTF, was Eric Holder in charge of small arms?

Too bad that chopper wasn't full of more talibans, or crashed into a barracks.
Hope they try again.

From the lack of flames and smoke, maybe they forgot to put avgas in it

In the pervious thread that was also mentioned.  Apparently checking the fuel gauge isn't a think when the focus is inshallah.

Ayup. It looked like a lot of them were new.

I’m surprised Biden isn’t sending them parts and certified mechanics to perform PM on all that stuff.

And I’m only half kidding.

The US seems to take their ass beatings gracefully.  Same shit happened in Nam… leave the ‘enemy’ billions in equipment.

ETA: one must remember, the main purpose of these wars is to pump our economy and the defense industry. In those regards they were great victories.  Leaving that equipment is a good thing for our economy & defense industry.. yet not so good for the deficit & debt.

Crash hawk they got that name for a reason.

When they first came out the Army lost a few piloted by very experience pilots.

It's very hard to fly a Blackhawk.

Guiding a donkey on a narrow path and using small cyclic inputs to hover a helicopter are two very different disciplines.

Please take more for a spin. Don't learn how to fly them either, take more than 3 up at a time though.

Well if they put AvGas in it there certainly would have been flames.
