An US army Chinook helicopter in Kuwait got hit by Iranian drones.Can it be repaired /k/?
Considering the bongs sawed two chinooks in half and stitched them together into one frankenook, I'd say yes, that frame will be flying again with a year or two.
>>65043378No, owari da, with this crushing blow the downfall of the decadent wect is now set in stone and a new, more just age of international cooperation can begin
i am here for zigger tier responses
>>65043399have you considered looking at a mirror ?
>>65043389But will it be that frame or the other frame? In the frankenook, which airframe continues it's legacy?
>>65043421Probably whichever of the two was more complete gets to continue it's legacy. The other gets pic related...
>>65043378They'll probably just get cannibalized for parts for other helicopters. This is all very interesting though. If God forbid the US actually starts launching sustained ground operations in the region, then this will be the first conflict where the US' operational level assets can get hit on the regular. Iraq is swarming with Iranian aligned militias that have drones that can just fly in and bomb the shit out of staging areas and support bases along with Iran itself still having a massive drone threat and missile capabilities - To what degree in regards to the missiles, nobody knows in terms of high quality (Russian/Chinese shipped in + low production Iranian ones that are a step above the usual ones). But it's going to be a major factor in this war that we've never experienced in our other wars. There is no safe area anymore, everything can be attacked. The real question is to what degree? Will it be a sort of prolonged harassment campaign that tactically is just a pain in the ass and serves more as a political embarrassment? Or could it be massive drone swarms devastating entire bases and blowing up aircraft and facilities that can cost 10's-100's of millions of dollars with drones that cost 1,000? Time will tell I guess.
>>65043378NO LOWBALLERS I KNOW WHAT I GOT
>>65043506>Iraq is swarming with Iranian aligned militias that have drones that can just fly in and bomb the shit out of staging areas and support bases along with Iran itself still having a massive drone threat and missile capabilitiesWhere the fuck have you been the last 5 weeks? That front's been almost as hot as Lebanon.https://funker530.com/video/iranian-backed-militias-reacquaint-themselves-with-the-a10-

>>65043600Given the photos, it was inside hangar and they flew FPV drone thru the open doors, so unknown technology might be barn doors. Also its army bird, not USAF.
>>65043626Looking atthe photos it was clearly hit in the open and then moved under cover. In the bottom left you can see debris all around it.
>>65043399We didn't need that Chinook anyway.
How will we ever recover
>>65043389
>>65043761Gotta admire the sense of humor.
>>65043668Plus the Chinook assembly line is still running, unlike for basically 90% of the shit the Air Force is operating.
>ITT: mutts unironically going "we didn't need it anyway"They've gone full-on Russiaposting
>>65043787It's hilarious
>he's samefagging in his own thread
>>65043378Why you posting brown fakes?

>>65043787>>65043794I know right? It was a bit of a pain me having to put in my passport, social security number, my IP and ISP to prove that I was an American when I made those posts totally saying we didn't need it anyway. Because of course, it is totally impossible for people to pretend to be an American on 4chan, which requires all these IDs to prove your nationality before you can post.Haha.
>>65043917Haha yea man the US has no history of hatred of its own governent.
>>65043917seething
>>65043919Haha yeah that's exactly the same thing as going>We didn't need it anywayHaha I agree man. Go Texas Cowboys!>>65043920Coping.
>>65043922Do you think US citizens can't also laugh at zog cope! Because this cope itself is hilarious
>>65043927Of course they can, but your cope is assuming every single one of these people going>We didn't need it anywayAre all bona fide Dallas Cowboy Patriot Americanskis and not bored shitposters.
>>65043941In my experience the only defense zog enlisted can come up with is to declare everyone making fun of them as brown or third world, kind of like what you're doing now.
>>65043949>state that 'mutts' are claiming 'we didn't need it anyway'>I point out that it isn't difficult to pretend to be 'a mutt'>you immediately get defensive and start going on about how Americans can totally hate their government and laugh at it>start screeching about zog and nonsense like thatI mean, in the simple act of me explaining how retarded you are, you immediately out yourself as the shitposter I alluded to in my previous post. Because you can't help it. You just prove my point perfectly. You're not here to argue in good faith.
>>65043964>You just prove my point perfectlyLikewise
>>65043378Hegseth where is the SHORAD? Patriots need more ammo. what is the pentagon doing? if the preident only knew.
>>65043378We didn’t need that anyways
Couple hours with a cement mixer should fix it.
>>65043980
Implessive. With the will of Allah, the Iranians have brought the entire USAF to it's knees.
>>65044039the left can't meme>inb4 even more angry samefagging
>>65044067It's not that you're losing planes all the time to another sandbox adventure that's funny, it's that you keep saying you won and Iran is destroyed five times a day while politely ignoring your own losses.
>>65044067You really think that’s the left and not literal diaspora designed to provoke that response from you?You moron.
>>65044039I'm not gonna lie this is some extreme apples to oranges
>>65043787>implying it’s Americans postingSame larping discord transvestites as always>>65043949You don’t understand the state of your being or the consequences of people realizing. You subhumans are lucky in that regard, as you shit up boards (and the world) with your filth and try to pass it off as nigger-tier truths
>>65044101>ignoring your own lossesWe lost more planes invading Iraq. We lost more men invading Panama, Grenada, and in Mogadishu.
>>65044318Yeah and if the preliminary action is any indicator the actual invasion phase will be a bloodbath which is why US leadership is visibly flailing
>>65044356>Yeah and if the preliminary action is any indicator the actual invasion phase will be a bloodbath which is why US leadership is visibly flailingIraq shot down 44 US/UK aircraft during the 38 day air campaign that preceded the ground invasion. Iran has shot down two (2) in 30 days.
>>65044307You will never be a patriot
>>65044366>Iran has shot down two (2) in 30 days>according to CENTCOMlol
>>65043399We let it get destroyed as a gesture of good will
>>65044366Okay, now do the mountain guerilla insurgency part when they are still wrecking airframes on the ground and in the air a full three weeks after USG has started insisting every day that they dont have that capability anymore. >Iran has shot down two (2) in 30 days.Including drones and ground losses its likely roughly equivalent, with no end in sight either.
>>65044366>conveniently ignoring aircraft destroyed on the ground and aircraft they shot down but CENTCOM wont admit to losing to enemy fireCope
>>65044039Anything underneath the top for is some of the most extreme cope I've ever seen. The US has made a political mess out of this war sure, but the russians don't get to say a damn word about it.
>>65043389New Ship of Theseus, Chopper of the Bongs:>If two helicopters leave a base and get blown up, then both helicopters are combined to make one helicopter which flies back to base, did both helicopters return to that base?
>>65043378It was an old chinook that was about to be scrapped anyway. Now we don't even need to pay the scrapping fees, they did us a favor.
>>65044392Was CENTCOM also lying about the 44 shot down by Iraq?
God the redditors are out in force today
>>65044366>Forgot Iran whacking 1 of our 16 remaining E-3 Sentry's while it was grounded
>>65043378Even ZOG's helicopters are circumcised.
>>65043389lmao
>>65044449no one forgot, it just wasnt as noteworthy. yeah its embarrassing but the kill was entirely due to lax airfield security. hitting aircraft while theyre in the air is more impressive.
