bro... shameful clown and absurdity everything that sucks in it, I don't think even Donald Trump will solve something, I remember a similar thing happened during training in Syria and Libya, quite absurd, Russia and China do not happen this is rare with a serious error and there is strict punishment, now the US has an extensive list of military personnel dying in training.

These death traps need to be grounded already. Jesus christ. Is it going to take a fourth crash in one year to make it sink in?

^^^ Seriously?

The grammar? The logic?

Where to start?


2 trolls, 12:51 and 12:54 are the same person.


11:12 could be the same troll as 12:51/12:54

Are certain peer competitors jealous?

What one has to do is compare mishap and death rates of Ospreys to helicopters like the Chinook, which our troll friends did not do.

For that matter neither did Fatman with his selection of blogposts.

Is the V-22 Osprey actually as dangerous as people think?

Is the Osprey safe? Depends on which stats are used

'And despite the Osprey’s negative reputation, you won’t find its incident record as a dangerous outlier in service-wide or branch-specific data. As Marine Maj. Jorge Hernandez, spokesman for Marine aviation, explained to the Military Times in a July e-mail, the Marine Corps’ MV-22 Osprey has a lower mishap rate per 100,000 flight hours than the Harrier, Super Hornet, F-35B, or CH-53E Super Stallion.

“The 10-year average mishap rate for MV-22′s is 3.16 per 100,000 flight hours,” Hernandez wrote on July 8.'
