Good 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.
>>
>>65222514
V-1 debris killed quite a few fighter pilots in WW2

Still counts as a cease-fire tho, that term is flexible

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.

To 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

Propaganda 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]

What is this gay ass larp? The Apaches have been specifically tasked with downing drones to protect the civilian ships transiting Omani waters.

He 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?

Probably 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.

Im gonna claim occams razor on this, it probably got hit by debris during interception.

>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

Can you not see the gun on the anime forum?
>>
>>65222920
I 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.
>>
>>65222956
So now just an image with a gun is enough?
>>
>>65222648
If 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.

How 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?

The Iranians finally got their “Serbia moment” to gloat over I guess.

Everything was fucked if that war had happened. That is why every NATO-wide exercise resulted in NATO using tactical nukes on the last day.
>>
>>65223018
It 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.
>>
>>65223018
Helis are actually pretty good at shooting down Shasneeds and what not.
>>
>>65222783
>>65222924
I can smell the fish from here.
>>
>>65223052
I 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.

Wdhmbt?

>>65222514
Probably shot it down and the sympathetic detonation of the payload did it.
>>
>>65223220
Like a drone intercept mission and they got too close?
>>
>>65222614
>thats literally cant happen unless they were right behind it
If 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.
