If a badger mauls me to death because I tried to pet it, I want you all to know that I never said they weren’t vicious predators. My name is in no way a statement on the docile nature of badgers. They are dangerous and I won’t feel safe trying to pet it.

Helicopters in general. That’s why there’a a TrueAnon rule, and why the actually important people travel by motorcade.

I’m not going to profess to be some sort of expert on combat aircraft or complicated machines in general, but when I look something up and I immediately see this

Still, the Osprey isn’t historically reliable when it comes to combat readiness. In fact, the program missed the boat on meeting its reliability rate goals in every year from 2011 to 2021 — despite taking its first flight in 1989.

in an article titled 'Why they call the Osprey the ‘widow maker’, I’m going to assume it’s a piece of shit, especially knowing what I already did about it’s extended development and previous crashes and issues

It’s a fucking overcomplicated helicopter, and those are already accident prone pieces of shit, I don’t think there has ever been a time when adding MORE delicate systems to an existing machine has increased it’s reliability

I’ve never seen a mechanic more worried than when his Osprey stopped leaking

I agree, but occasionally they can be very funny. The enemy of my enemy has some good dunks sometimes

US forces in Iraq and Syria have been subject to 78 attacks resulting in 66 injuries since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood. There have been no deaths.

Since Al Aqsa Flood started a V22 Osprey has crashed with 8 servicemembers and a helicopter crashed in the Mediterranean carrying a full SF team. Everyone on both aircraft died.

Edit: I think they said 1 contractor died from a heart attack because of one of the missile strikes

When your best defense is “hang on we have deadlier aircraft in the US air force!”
