Word on the street is that the US bagged another 2 shadow fleet tankers today. With one of the tankers being captured using these little guys. Have we begun breaching into the Tom Clancy timeline, or have we always been in the timeline without us knowing?Also, a general thread on these little guys and what can be done to improve on their airframes and tactical usage.
>>64729222>Word on the streetlisten ESLs, no one in america actually says this so please stop starting your threads with it.
>what can be done to improve on their airframes and tactical usage.Considering there recent successes? Nothing at all!
>>64729222I fucking hate those tiny little assholes
>>64729222It was used for a policing action, not even by the military.Also, I doubt it, probably just an MH-60
>>64729310The one in the Caribbean was seized using Black Hawks, but the one in the Atlantic was seized using at least 2 of the Little Birds>It was used for a policing action, not even by the military.Delta, DoJ and apparently Seals were involved with the seizure in the Atlantic. At least that's what the initial reporting is saying
>>64729244What the fuck are you talking about, that's a common as fuck phrase here
>>64729308Seen this a million times and never understood the context.
>>64729244it's not common in text but yeah it is still used in actual conversation, maybe don't transclude the lingo used in your mothers basement on everyone else
>>64729308>>64729518I would also like context
>>64729518Fucking with contractors
>>64729222You’ve entered the timeline where the USA is being run by a massive gang of criminals with literally no idea or care as to the long term repercussions of their actions. It’s very exciting and very funny and it’s going to last for a long time, so enjoy.
>>64729325The Atlantic one was really interesting. Wonder what was on it that got everyone so riled up, people are saying it was sitting too high in the water to be carrying a large cargo of oil like the others were.
>>64729618>stopping your enemies makes you a criminalChang pls.
>>64729621>hurr durr anyone who dislikes the clowns running the country must be Chinese Said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s going to be so much fun when all this explodes in your stupid retarded redneck faces.
>>64729618>USA HELP US FIGHT BRICS YOU TRAITOR>Ok say goodbye to Russias shadow tankers>NOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
>>64729643How msany weeks until the Chinese dragon raises its eyebrow and the burger yankee mutts see everything comrade?.
>>64729518>>64729525Blackwater little birds operating in 03 Iraq. Guys on the roof may have been special forces, three letter agency glowies, so they proceed to dunk on them motherfuckers. Man, I miss those days.
>>64729667Contractors didn't have little birds.
So these little birds don't belong to the coast guards? Man that sucks, they don't even get to board ships.
>>64729620Yea, it was empty of any oil or oil products. It was trying to sprint through the GIUK Gap when it was seized.
>>64729667Other way around, more likely.
>>64729244Word on the street is that I'm losing my funk, my cool, my flow, my ho-ho-ho.Though we still can't let you steal the show...
>>64729222Riding on the side of one of those must be so much fun
>>64729643Ohhh me so sowwy you vetty vetty collect!

>>64729222>just change your flag at sea, it's that eas-ACK!
>>64729724Correct. They had MD 500s, which the AH-6 Little Bird is based on. Happy?
>>64729325Show proof on the Atlantic or shut toSOC was imbedded, sure. But it was a CG platform, unit, and operation. This is the same as the one from weeks ago. It was a policing action. Until I see evidence otherwise MH-60 makes the most sense
>>64730957See:>>64730933
>>64730967I don’t give a fuck about still frames. From RT no less
>>64729222Shouldn't that be Seal/VBSS marines job?
>>64731284Law enforcement action. SOAR flew the Coast Guard in, because they have the arrest authority, but it takes more effort than you'd think to safely get men onboard an evasive tanker.
>>64730933If I saw one of these in the open ocean, I'd start shitting myself
>>64731416>SOAR Not a single piece of evidence to suggest that. Why are you just making shit up?
>>64731497https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-operation-seize-venezuela-linked-oil-tanker-marinera/>Two Defense Department officials told CBS News Navy SEALs took over the oil tanker. They were flown by service members from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, known as the "Night Stalkers."
>>64731545Oh, SEALS, my bad. Interdasting. Nice to see them staying in their fucking lane for once.
>>64731552Well, you got to throw them a bone every now and then, or they’ll start to get uppity and leaving friendlies behind again.
>>64729643>when all this explodes in your stupid retarded redneck faces.How will that happen, you pan faced, slit eyed, buck toothed, little dick, sub-human piss colored nigger?
>>64729222I just love them because I loved Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
>>64731805>How to give autistic kids something to do for hours: the game
>>64729620That's the one that painted a russian flag on itself to avoid being boardedThe russians are miffed because they sent a sub and some ships to guard it and not only did the US board it anyway the bongs came to help
>>64731812the mapmaker was something special I haven't seen since
>>64729620>Wonder what was on it that got everyone so riled up,People are assuming it was smuggling weapons from Iran
>>64729643>>64729618>Enforcing international sanctions on illegal vessels known to smuggle weapons, sanctioned materials, and illicit equipment is badKill yourself
>>64731851That's my bet. Craziest thing I've heard theorized was Iran put what remains of whatever enriched uranium they had left over. I wouldn't know why they'd do that, but it's a wacky/interesting sub-theory to one I do put stock in (that it was something much, much spicier than hydrocarbons).My wackiest take would be ballistic missiles that could reach the southern US.
>>64731814> they sent a subDamn. I hope the boarding party didn’t end up with tinnitus. Or tetanus.
>>64729618
>>64729620Nukes, according to a /k/ommando that got dubs in another thread.
>>64729244it's from here but it's from new york from 1986 and possibly if you were a nigger or a wop.
>>64729244shut up when you’re streets behind or I’ll teach your grandmother to suck eggs
what is so hard about shooting these down?it's not no plating and most of the pictures ive ever seen of them they're not loaded with like long range guided missiles and shit, it's just some dickweed on a machinegun in the back.by the time you're in its range it's in your range exept you heard it coming from 8 miles away.

>>64729244If you're not streets ahead, you're streets behind.
>>64732014I'm pretty sure this is the main reason their shitposters have been extra active lately
>>64729643So is the left simping for russia now or what?
The Blackwater videos reminded me of this old video from the same era that used to get posted on /k/ all the time, it's a bunch of contractors shooting from s roof at insurgents behind a wall, the "main" dude says something along the lines of "it's a hot area". His face was a meme for a while. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>64732866>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDoX8UnQ4D0This one?
>>64732886No, although this is a classic too. The one I'm remembering is a lot shakier and has a lot more "colorful language", the main dude looks like a total douchebag with sunglasses if that helps at all
>>64732296They're surprisingly quiet. When I saw them in Iraq I couldn't really hear them when they were 30 seconds out.
