And how much is the American taxpayer on the hook for now?
Hello, wait a minute.
The US bought combat helicopters from the Russians?
Was there collusion? Were they hacked?
Leading from behind except with our money! Bowbama is a complete failure!

Rambo 7: The Final Odyssey
Sly Stallone, now 85, is fighting climate change in Afghanistan and has to shoot down Black Hawks cuz they’re polluting the air and the dang Russkie helis keep dissolving in the atmosphere.
Anything those ragheads cant fix with pliers and wire and steer with reigns and a stick will be a failure.
Blackhawks? Pffft, a maintenance contractors wet dream.
This is the first I have heard of this.
someone needs to look into who in the Russian military-industrial complex got paid off.
Afghan air force = Jamaican bobsled team? Serous?
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
