>>65222514Good fucking question. Only possible answer omis they were flying a straight and narrow and it snuck up on them which shouldn't be possible.Or they destroyed it and got hit with debris.
>>65222514V-1 debris killed quite a few fighter pilots in WW2
Still counts as a cease-fire tho, that term is flexible
>>65222514>informed by our Great MilitaryMan, his writing style is always painful to read
I'd guess they were using guns to shoot it down but they were too close and got hit by debris.
Imagine spending your entire life training to be an attack helicopter pilot and then the 2020s happen.
>>65222586To be fair Helicopters were fucked in the 1980s too since the Soviets had a shitload of anti helicopter weaponry and they were supposed to just pop out and shoot off missiles then get out
>>65222514proof?
>>65222575thats literally cant happen unless they were right behind it
>>65222563Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (...) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (...) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood.[5]Psychopaths are naturals at emotional manipulation and it doesn't get simpler than "us = good and them = bad".
>>65222618Imagine getting this triggered over "Our army is good."
>I spotted a shaheedGreat, lets radio HQ and let them know its coming>nooo, I have 4 kills, I can be an ace Apache gunner if I kill this!No, we need to stay clear, its not our mission.>Fly me right next to it, I can take it down!Shrapnel punctures a fuel line, or clips a data cable.
>>65222625What is this gay ass larp? The Apaches have been specifically tasked with downing drones to protect the civilian ships transiting Omani waters.
one of these?
>>65222514>trump called bibi "mad idiot" yesterday because of the unnecessary attack in beirut>today an "iranian drone" shot down an apacheYEAHHHHHH SURE
>>65222624nta, but>informed by our Great Military is retarded phase, whatever you want to spin it
>>65222614Which is usually the easiest place to shoot something down from. Are you dumb or something bud?
>>65222624He isn't saying it's good. There are no objective performance metrics whatsoever. It's a Great Military because it's his. If it was Obama's or Biden's, it would be an Incompetent Military which deserves Better Leadership.Trump does nothing but spin and expects you to be dumb enough to fall for it. Congratulations on meeting the expectations of the Greatest President Ever of the United States of America.
Did this apache get USS Liberty'd?>>65222624Probably an european who is only here to spam about shitkraine and has no military to speak of. So of course having a great military triggers them.
Russia lost one first.
>>65222514Helipopter was caught by surprise. Simple as.
>>65222673>right behind them
>>65222735Imagine outing that you don't even know where the Strait of Hormuz is.
>>65222514>V22 Osprey falls out of sky due to BAD DESIGN>call it a helicopter >false flag>bomb the fuck out of former Perians, current goat fuckersLET'S GO!
>>65222651Trump wouldn't care about some helicopter being shot downIm gonna claim occams razor on this, it probably got hit by debris during interception.
>>65222783>Im gonna claim occams razor on this, it probably got hit by debris during interception. Not the first time, either. Emiratis lost an Apache when they flew too close to a Shasneed during an intercept. And Ukrainians lost a lot of aircraft (both fixed and rotary) to drone explosions.
am i the only one that read it as an accidental air collision?I think its kinda cool that a drone boat picked up the crew though, im reminded of those floating shelters the british made in ww2 for bomber crews that might need to ditch
>>65222872>literal Apache attack helicopter collides with metal RC plane>Apache helicopter goes downIt seems like they're quite fragile
>>65222768Word on the street is that she's shunned his bed since Stormy Daniels hit the paper.
>>65222783>tfw no qt azov gf
>>65222920At least she still gets to decorate the ballroom.
>>65222924
>>65222924That's obviously a filter, but the girl >>65222783 is definitely really hot>>65222928WTF is this AI sloppa?
Redditors out in force it seems.
>>65222928>>65222934>WTFMotivation.
>>65222943Literally Israeli post lmao>InspirationFor what? AI slop is the opposite of inspiring. Also not weapons
>>65222947>Also not weaponsAh, one of "those".
>>65222952Still not weapons
>>65222954Can you not see the gun on the anime forum?
>>65222920I dunno, it sounds a lot like something you wish was true so you decided to just pretend it was true.
Since this incident was treated far differently I'd say that the Apache pilot was too close to it when it was destroyed causing a mission kill to the aircraft rather than Iran managing to snipe an Apache even doing a semi predictable route with a shasneed.
>>65222956So now just an image with a gun is enough?
>>65222648If a MANPAD hits an Apache there would have been more mentions of injuries/deaths due to a rough landing, this sounds more like some shrapnel made the Apache unflyable long term but still landable in a sense that wouldn't cripple/kill the crew.
>>65222966Are you saying that a gun on a weapons forum is not enough? You prefer knives?
>>65222514How does the Army fly a helicopter right into the path of a landing airline?The US Army is institutionally retarded. Anything can happen.
What are Apaches doing here? Isn't it a purely marine/navy operation?
>>65222514The Iranians finally got their “Serbia moment” to gloat over I guess.
>>65222591Everything was fucked if that war had happened. That is why every NATO-wide exercise resulted in NATO using tactical nukes on the last day.
>>65223018It is good training and the pilots can get air medals if they are there long enough. The real answer is Navy doesn't have the number of required helicopters.
>>65223018Helis are actually pretty good at shooting down Shasneeds and what not.
>>65222783>>65222924I can smell the fish from here.
>>65223052I thought the naval forces of the US had enough helicopters and didn't need the army for this operation.So that means that there's a us army base near the strait.
>>65222625A pilot would never do something reckless and stupid just to win a medal.
>>65223029How many decades will this one last?
>>65222881All aircraft are quite fragile.
>>65223062We have a major Army base in Kuwait. Probably came from there.
>>65223192>flying fortressWdhmbt?
>>65222514Probably shot it down and the sympathetic detonation of the payload did it.
>>65223220Like a drone intercept mission and they got too close?
>>65222614>thats literally cant happen unless they were right behind itIf the drone explodes, it sends frag everywhere.If you're close enough, you eat some frag.Happened all the time in Ukraine, it was one of the drivers for developing interceptor drones.
>>65222735>USS Liberty With what fucking weapon? There is no air to air missile with the range needed to hit a helicopter from Israel you fucking brain dead turd.
>>65222920>just making shit upThe Liberal Question deserves a Final Solution.
>>65223123>A pilot would never do something reckless and stupid just to win a medal.

>>65223062>>65223194Also army aviation units can be posted at non army bases.
>>65223245>this level of yuri
>>65223260This was posted to a Kyiv channel today btw, not sure when it's actually from.It doesn't just happen to burgers.
