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

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

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
who would have thought the aircraft more complicated than a helicopter, that can’t glide for shit, and is routinely flown low to the ground would be unsafe
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.
If you ever die in a badger related incident, I hope your partner starts posting for you
This tickles me more than Kissinger did
