Aren’t the arabs killing enough Israelis fast enough without the Osprey? Do we have to help them accelerate the numbers?
Huh?
I didn’t think we were even still producing the Ospreys.
The utter ignorance on this thread is absolutely profound.
The V-22 had a very tough development, but its operational service has been stellar.
It has an outstanding safety record and has served in combat in multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Israel wants them because, unlike the armchair morons on this thread, they recognize what a transformational platform the tiltrotor Osprey is.
If you actually saw one fly in person, you wouldn’t say they don’t look like they want to fly, that’s for damn sure.
Osprey is crap. Should have been canceled long ago
I wonder if Chuck Hagel is demanding that in return for another handout, Isreal’s military provide marriage benefits to homos?
