In two different but consecutive incidents, a Seahawk and a Super Hornet from the Nimitz CSG just crashed in the SCS. All crew were recovered safely. No idea of the cause(s) for both of these crashes yet.https://x.com/USPacificFleet/status/1982583083519140329?
>>64446720Hopefully, one of those craft was carrying John Podesta.
>>64446720If I was a high ranking general in the Navy I would just ditch a couple aircraft in the water in full view of my enemies every so often to cultivate a false sense of superiority.
>>64446720I kept warning you guys that Chinese weapons research was jumping generations ahead of us. The Chinese have weapons that we can't even imagine at this point. They are undetectable and lethal. USA has no chance in an armed conflict with China or to defend Taiwan.
>>64446720Loss of power due to issues with the engines, I bet. Supposedly the navy has been having maintenance issues for a good long while now
>>64446735fpbp
>>64446720>causeMost aircraft maintenance is handled by 19-25 year olds who haven’t slept right in years and subsist on a diet of Zyn and Monster
Ok I'm calling it now, it's bad fuel.
>>64446720The US is scared of China. They for sure took both of these down in preparation for the Trump talks. Just another masterstroke from Xi as he acclimates the US for total takeover of the pacific. Taiwan is going to be taken without a bullet.
>>64446756>>64446977implessive, vely olganic
why has the US navy had so many aircraft fall into the sea in the past few years?
>>64447077It has a lot of aircraftIt uses a lot of aircraft# of failures is rate of failure * # of flights
>>64446720Could be hacked by china
>>64447077Because they were useless without shells, as a part of such a military
>>64446756Here comes the Chinese shilling. Anyways, do we have any news yet on what caused the crash?
>>64447077Because even though the US has a lot of new advanced planes, most US airplanes are still decades old and only getting older
>>64446748Smart strategy.I would also let my ships get rammed into by Malaysian cargo ships, for the same reason.
>>64446812>and subsist on a diet of Zyn and MonsterAnd thats a good thing
>>64447946chinese jamming. you need to leave our sea yankee. your time here has expired
>>64447077High tempo operations on a constant basis because of muh readiness, leaving little time for proper maintenance and crew rest.
send nimitz home and extend the Gdub
>aircraft sank to bottom of the sea.Looks like they forgot to close the hatch.
>>64446983>went right over his headRetard
>>64447077Old equipment
>>64447960Especially in the case of the Navy. Currently there are zero aircraft on flight decks that were actually naval designs or even requested by the Navy. But let's makes sure the USAF gets their 763748476th stealth fighter class.
>>64446720PREDICTION GIVEN USNAVY; It will come down to poor maintenance AND fake parts, since all the good people already left when poofters and troons became a thing in the laughable usnavy.
>>64446720Diversity hire pilots
>>64447972fuck zyn and fuck retard promoting this dumbshit
>>64446756>The LY-1 (Chinese: 燎原-1; pinyin: liaoyuan-1; lit. 'prairie fire 1'[1]) is a Chinese shipborne or ground-based high-energy laser weapon designed to intercept drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft. The laser weapon system was unveiled at the 2025 China Victory Day Parade.
>>64446857Trump said this today, probably correct
>>64446720>AMERIKKKA STRONK >AMERIKKKA NAMBA WAN
>>64450109ayy checkem>the implications of bad fuel are pretty grim though, how many safeguards have failed for it to affect two different craft?
>>64447481>these crashes are plannedLol mutt cope is unreal
>>64448972Amerikkka will bomb some kaaba worshipers in caves to feel good About themselves after getting double punked like this
>>64450125It was probably just one bad batch, the two crashes happened in short succession so they were probably fueled from the same source. Seahawks have turbine engines so they use the same fuel as jets.
>>64446720vid got leaked
>>64447969Your insight and skills would be wasted on the duties of a mere fleet admiral. We're sending you to The Hill.
>>64450240Doesn't change his question. You have to miss a lot of fuel QC checks in a lot of places for this to happen like it appears to have.>t. clear and bright and free of shite
>>64450125Squadron line shackers take fuel samples from every aircraft on the flight schedule. ABFs (purple shirts) do a bunch of their own fuel samples before allowing it to be pumped.
>>64450894lmao
>>64450894Growlers can also do ASW in addition to SEAD
>>64450894So this is that famous "diving bomber" plane that i heard of
the south china sea "deterrence" cruise—aimed squarely at china—is turning into a farcewithout the PLAN even twitching a finger, you've already lost 2 aircrafttotal joke.stay docked at home base; these brain-dead ops just broadcast your vulnerabilities oh, and your rustbucket fleet? way too ancient for endless patrols like this
>>64447976if that's what's happening under no duress in peace time, god help them if war breaks out
Shit happens all over the world all of the timehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_military_aircraft_(2020%E2%80%93present)>worlds combined largest flying force by a wide fucking margin has numerically higher accident rates but statistically low ratesOh no its the end of America....oh save me chinaman...ohhhhhh
>>64451533Op tempo for squadron/air department would not change much during wartime. That's how rough the flight schedule is.
>>64451525What is the purpose of spamming slopbot shit on this Tuvaluan fish breeding forum, little pink?
>sortie out to scare the big bad chinese menace>lose two aircraft (And god knows how many more until this shot show ends)pretty humiliating, desu. And the best part about it? China has repeated its winning strategy for the 10th million time in a row; sit back and do nothing.
Is this the script the changs have been given now?
>>64451839Yes, they have recently forgotten their little cronching incident with that Philippine fishing boat in the West Phillipine Sea, and are now pretending that they are just sitting at home doing nothing, and the ooooo big bad Mr America should just go home
>>64446720It's what happens when you put killswitches in all your shit.
>>64450109>Trump said thisSo, whatever it was, it almost certainly wasn't that. When that man says "good morning" you really need to check your watch.>>64451586>Oh no its the end of America....oh save me chinaman...ohhhhhhDESU, that happened a long time ago, and now it's on the zombie shuffle as bits fall off more and more frequently... But I'm sure doubling down on retardations will fix it.
>>64452202You're an idiot.
>>64452202Thirdie or libtard, call it. YWNBAW.
>>64450132Tard. Used knife is dull knife.
>>64452210My, that gave me a lot to think about with that scathing rebuttal. How will I ever cope.>>64452221Three outta three wrong. Can you try any harder to be more wrong?While we're at that, you do realise just how many of your countrymen are below the poverty line? Kinda a key indicator for 'third world'. Along with power failures every time the wind blows or it rains. Generally unable to afford healthcare. Lax educational standards that are dropping at an exponential rate. Should I keep going? There's an extensive list you've managed.
>water filled planesimplessive
>>64453438You've been butthurt for hours now, chinky. This can't be good for your health
>lost 2 planes>called other butthurtk
>>64446756More like Chinese maintenance procedures are jumping ahead. Or again, more like American skills are backsliding.
>>64450894fuckin' boeing
>>64451533If war breaks out 20% of them are expeced to be dead in a month anyway
>>64448841Someone's been using Mc Donalds straws instead of high pressure lines again
Trump said it was bad fuel. So we can rule that out.
>>64453438I call bullshit, turbines are very fuel tolerant, much more so than piston engines.
>>64450894https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cy8p3qg4911o
>>64455181Pure speculation, but I wonder if the cause was something like that airliner a few years ago where the filter on the pump shit the bed and almost caused complete engine failure.
>>64451525see, it works>>64446748
>>64447481The USN has for nearly all of living memory had a lot of planes and a lot of flights. That hasn't changed.
>>64446756Thanks for the heads up Dave Changson from Ohio province.
>>64456179Did this post have a purpose?
>>64458100more purpose than your existence
>>64458100Does yours? Don't answer that, rhetorical question.
>Chinks fly too close to American pilots to harass them>Chink pilots aren't as good as they think they are and crash into Americans>Chinese government says nothing and US government says "oops, must have run out of fuel or something" because no one wants a war right now
