I don’t think the Taliban threaten Navy ships. Maybe resources should fit the threat. Anyway, a 90 million, fragile system, isn’t as good as three, or four heavy lift helicopters, where if you lose one, you still have 66%-75% of your lift. Manpad threat is the same, the Osprey doesn’t bring anything new.
I got from the report that the approach, miles out, was too fast. Pilot error, not the craft in this case.
What planet are you on?
Go look up what Hezbollah did with an Israeli ship.
Ever hear of the USS Stark?
