Trump confirms that a state-of-the-art Apache helicopter (that cost over 100M USD) was downed by a 5k drone.Remember back in Obama times when it was Americans droning sand people and not the opposite?
>>536723872Iran's entire military budget is less than 1/100 of America's military budget yet they're struggling kek
>>536724034I just checked.Iran's budget for all their military and police is just 9B. America's budget for the military (not including special stuff that don't show up) is 900B.It's really 1/100 of the US budget, LMAO.
>>536723872Banan Taco Tuesday
>>536724198Iran's military budget is estimated to be around $20.5 billion, which is significantly less than the nearly $1 trillion spent annually by the United States on its military. This means Iran's military spending is less than 1/50 of America's military budget, not 1/100.
Please tell me the pilots are stable
>>536724313I googled and it said 9, though.
How do you survive a helicopter being shot down. They can't eject. I've seen slavshit get hit at low altitude and juat disintegrate or crash on landing in a fireball. I'd actually like to see the footage of this. Sounds bad ass.
>>536724420RT confirmed they were rescued after 2 hours of searching on the coast of Oman.They are probably fine.
>>536724478they disconnect the propellers and they catapult into the air
>>536724198>>536724313but what percent of the military budgets goes to investors and owners?
>>536724478They probably crash-landed on the sea and managed to escape the sinking wreckage.Weirdly, Iran has not claimed to have done it yet (something they don't shy away from doing). Could it be a potential false flag?
>>536723872They should've bought it on Facebook Marketplace.
>>536724643STOP BEING ANTI-SEMITIC!
>>536724556Is this a thing?
>>536724646I wouldn't be surprised. Israel really doesn't want this shitshow to end peacefully.
>>536724894They can't afford for Iran to be free to help Hezbollah; they need to keep Iran preoccupied with America until they complete the ethnic cleansing of the south.
>>536724449>I googledDuck it
I live near Sikorsky Aircraft and think building more helicopters is good thing.
>>536725236I mean.It is not like the US is going to lose a war because "OMG THEY LOST A PLANE".My point is. They lose a 100M plane to what seems to be a cheap drone. This is Soviet Union in Afghanistan logistics tier of "oof".Make no mistake. If America wants, they can invade Iran, and they will definitely win. I am not stupid claiming that Iran has a chance to win (they are winning the meme war, though), but holy shit, this will be the last war America will be able to fight.
I guess it turns out civilians don't have as much to fear from the hyperspeed drone webms we've seen as the heavy military infrastructure does.
>>536724775>flaglmao
>>536726136bruh, I served in armoured infantry. If we were hit, we would just die.
>>536724775i only know of 1 helicopter that can do this, and it's a Russian helicopter.
>>536725741why dont usa make a lot of cheap drones instead? its obviously the new meta
>>536723872> that cost over 100M USDNah, it's closer to 40M, Still a lot of tax payers' shekels.
>>536723872Why aren't you talkung about this?
>>536724034Because the jews have choked the living shit out of the US and gutted it and are selling off the pieces.
>>536729149>Nah, it's closer to 40M, Still a lot of tax payers' shekels.Bro a military crop duster is $40 million, this chopper had to at least be triple that.
Why aren't you talking about this?
>>536723872the helicopter was named the USS Liberty 2
>>536726773??
>>536729552nice retard narrative
>>536729625Proof?
>>536723872An apache is not state of the art nor does it cost 100m dollars. You have outed yourself as a dumb nigger
>>536723872This (((bot))) is off the rails
>>536723872President jew slave has our helios patrolling Iran's territory and he's surprised they are being attacked.Every attack of the jew is marketed to the goyim as a charity, virtue, and as a last resort a defensive action when the jew is in fact the aggressor.
>>536730043He disappears as the narrative shifts, then makes a new thread to refresh his leftoid talking points.
>>536724034Because America isn't actually engaging Iran directly. If they do it will be over very fast and a bunch of the faggy countries will start whining that we're bullying them.
>>536730120Back to reddlt.
>>536725741Viewing war as a series of economic transactions is a fallacy though. The point isn't to cost the other person money, it's to cost them the ability to fight. Destroying 1 plane when there are 5000 more, it doesn't matter what the cost disparity is between that plane and the weapon used to destroy it is, because you haven't really changed much. There are 4999 more planes ready to go. At the rate Iran is going, the US would need to worry about drafting another round of acquisitions... in 100 years. In 10 they'll have drafted a bunch more unrelated projects anyways.Consider the cost disparity between a soldier and a bullet. Losing a soldier costs you everything you put into training them, equipping them, etc., all the money you spent on them as a citizen prior to their enlistment, and all of their economic contributions they would have otherwise made. Even for a third world country, you're talking millions of dollars. All erased by something that costs a few cents. How many soldiers do you have to kill to win a war? You can't really answer that question without more information, can you?This is all without getting into that it's not how acquisitions works in the first place. The military doesn't go to the Boeing store and grab a bunch of planes off the shelf. Things generally don't have unit costs like that, but the public will guesstimate and try to deduce a unit cost based on fuzzy numbers given in a contract that go all over the place. Economics is literally the most worthless exercise humans have ever devised. It doesn't actually tell you anything meaningful. You can try to rationalize it a million different ways, but the problem is precisely that you're rationalizing from a faulty premise to begin with: that dollar values actually mean anything. They don't. You see $100 million down the drain, but what's the actual effect that's had? They just make the economy "grow" by $500M every day for a week and it all gets lost in the noise.
>>536723872I remember jew slave Obama and the CIA/Israel/Saudi Arabia jewhad he unleashed upon Syria and Libya, which flooded Europe with infinity unwanted alien niggers. I really don't like jew slave Obama or jew slave Trump.
>>536730231kill yourself jew
>>536730184If "a bunch of faggy countries whining" is enough to stop the US then you're the biggest faggot of them all lmao
>>536723872>Remember back in Obama timesYeah I remember that traitor foreign fag soft landing US drones into Iran for them to reverse engineer, crazy times i hope he's still in prison for his treason.
