The wounded will all recover and return to duty, hard landing in that Osprey at the op lz used for staging and refueling. Seals are tough.

Good news there.

Oh, I know they are tough. May God watch and protect these brave men.

Ospreys are expensive.

Probably over 100 million dollars, as adapted for SOF use.

Probably someone on the ground hit one of the rotor pods with an RPG.

Here is a source that says the SOF version of the Osprey is the CV-22 and costs $90 million.
