  1. Okay, I fell for it but bailed after 3 minutes of the video. Who’s to blame….flying in mountains under limited or poor visibility has been the demise of many airmen. Flying helicopters in mountainous areas, usually includes high altitudes, is difficult on a good day. That’s why they don’t casually use helicopters for mountain rescue of civilians.

    You don’t need equipment failure to have a problem. The U.S. has spent billions of dollars to make more capable machines and guidance systems, and training, and we still get fatalities. Iran has the money and engineers but spends it’s money elsewhere.

    Seems pretty likely “pilot error” should be the top of the list.

  2. Ask the UN… But they’ll just make shit up like they did with the “Palestinian State”…

    BTW, I don’t remember the UN issuing arrest warrants for the horrible terrorist attack against Israel on Oct 7th. My memory must be not as good as it used to be.

    Yes, followed in the #2 spot by M____d or I_F action. But not C_A.

  4. Iran is not a DFAR country. Which means they have no access for “Original Equipment” U.S. made replacement parts or electronics for a 60 year old American made military helicopter. And if an American Company sold to them it would be an ITAR violation and they’d be serving jail sentences. Further more the Iranians reverse engineering any part would be like a cave man chunking it out of stone. I’m not sayen that’s what cause the “hard landing”. But it seems to me old American aircraft are always dropping out if the air in Iran.

  5. I should hope we were responsible. But given the brain-dead limp-wrister who now occupies the WH, it’s probably not our doing.

    Biden: Oh no, Heaven’s No, we can’t kill another head of state. Think what that would do to our world-wide reputation.

    He and his cronies sent condolences to Iran a few days ago. That’s one less person they can bribe with billions of USD. No wonder they are saddened.

  6. Raisi’s dead – that’s the main thing.
    Another POS knocking on Hell’s Door … where Mohamhead will welcome him.

    “Iran is not a DFAR country. Which means they have no access for “Original Equipment” U.S. made replacement parts or electronics for a 60 year old American made military helicopter.”

    …under normal circumstances I am certain you would be right.

    But would you be surprised if the current fraudulent “American” government were to approve it, authorize it, and maybe even personally deliver it?

    These are strange times we live in when the Federal government supports our enemies and makes war on its own citizens.

    Nothing they did to give aid and comfort to the enemy would surprise me now.

    And considering they ignore laws at will and openly defy Supreme Court rulings, I dont see the laws being of any concern to them either…
