3 dead after Taliban crashes US chopper in Kabul; crash due to technical failure | WION |

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

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

How sad...looks like I'll lose .00002 seconds of sleep over that tonight.

But we can’t have a bumpstock or a pistol brace.
Lol Amerika. |

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. |

Quoted: Why we didn't send a few cruise missiles into that area I'll never know View Quote 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. |

How many helos did we leave behind???
Actually, probably a lot! https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Taliban-tries-to-fly-a-Blackhawk-Goes-as-expected-/5-2585009/?r=-1&page=1&anc=bottom#bottom |

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. |
