Hello, wait a minute.

The US bought combat helicopters from the Russians?

Was there collusion? Were they hacked?

Anything those ragheads cant fix with pliers and wire and steer with reigns and a stick will be a failure.

No one on this thread seems to care... But there was a reason. On paper the Russian Helicopters were going to be better for the hot and high conditions in Afghanistan. Helicopters have a really hard time there. It is just so hot and so high altitude they can’t generate much lift. So they tried to go with a copter with more lift. Turned out to be unmaintainable. No strange conspiracy theories needed.

Til the Afghan pilots can learn not to land in the same spot every time, any helicopters that come into their hands should be considered squandered. smh
