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

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

And I think it can’t do autorotation either?

The helicopter that doubles as a submarine in 7th Fleet, the one where everything always crashes because it’s overworked and undermaintained. RIP Captain Stupid-Ass.

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.
