This and the Sea King are the best helos they have.
Ironically both made by Sikorsky a company made by a Russian guy ?

Lone Ranger

Most excellent ?

Zionism = EVIL

They have more powerful engines than the Americunt ones with better sand filters, suited for the heavy air humidity of the Persian Gulf, especially in the summers.

Lone Ranger

Meanwhile Americants cant even fix the micro torque loss on the Crashawk for 40+ years…

Vox Populi

The Iranians maintain their equipment to an art form, even decades old weapons look spanking brand new. Kudos to their engineers and mechanics.

I think they have also Smirnoff vodka now? It makes more sales than current Russian vodka.

Lone Ranger

I doubt that but even if true it only proves the deteroating state of the U.S.

Lone Ranger

Fall of Saigon.

Zionism = EVIL

Over 100 brand new helicopters were junked in eagerness to flee. The Vietnamese asked Russia to send special sea cranes to fish them out :)

Lone Ranger

Indeed.
U.S. lost 2300planes and 5500heloa in Nam, not counting South Vietnamese losses.
Only WWII losses were worse.

Zionism = EVIL

I think I told you guys, I went to the Hanoi victory war museum in the 90’s and the colonel in-charge told me that the Americunts left so much equipment behind that the NVA took 18 months to take full inventory and they were still finding stuff years after the Americunt defeat. BTW, he was not impressed.

Lone Ranger

Waste of the century.
Imagine if that money went to the Americant people.
There would be no homeless people and every U.S. citizen would have full Universal healthcare.
Its a shame.

Zionism = EVIL

Actually, you raise a good point, that defeat was the first one to set in Americunt decline and economic bankruptcy. The idiot Ford ushered in the first post Vietnam recession after Nixon’s crooked antics and then one moron after and other and then came the Zionist fanned wars and kaput.

Lone Ranger

I agree.
They still havent recovered from Nam.
It only got worse gradually eversince.
Most Americants dont have full health coverage and 60mil are on foodstamps.

Zionism = EVIL

Objectively speaking, the Americunts are finished as China has already surpassed them in real GDP and economic growth. The real rate of unemployment is far worse in the “gig bullshit jobs” fake economy. 100 million are now officially unemployed and under-employed. The vast majority live one pay check or welfare check away from destitution. US is the only country that has a declining male life span fares worse than even Mexico in HDI. The 1% parasites are however getting rich by the day.

Lone Ranger

Indeed.
U.S. is the only western country with 27 tent cities.
$28trillion debt.
$800trill in the derivative bubble.
Debt per capita is $72,000.
Add record level unemployement.
Drug epidemic.
Crime epidemic.
Housing market crisis.
List goes on and on.
Germany alone exports more than the whole U.S.
They run a trade deficit of $800billion this year.
While China is running an $1200billion surplus.

Lone Ranger

United Banana Republics…

Lone Ranger

Infrastructure is still on the level of the 70s.

cechas vodobenikov

US assoc of engineers rates amerikan infrastructure D+
2 million families in extreme poverty
(they do not count homeless—US spends 80$ billion each year to incarcerate more per capita than any nation in history
per recent report median income $34,000 per year, hardly enough to pay for housing Macdonalds and required illicit drugs

Vox Populi

The recent wars cost well in excess of $13 trillion and nothing to show for. The US is addicted to its own destruction and misery for its hapless brainwashed sheeple.

Lone Ranger

Second one crashed in the Iranian desert with Delta on board.
If my memory serves well…

occupybacon

How that?

Zionism = EVIL

The dumbass Americunt arseholes left 5 of their most modern CH-53e Super Stallion behind and fled from “operation eagle claw (flaw)” and now Iran has upgraded them with new engines and many other local upgrades and a dozen proudly serve IRIN. Here of the latest photos from IRIN Marines using them for heavy lift deployment.

Well then he must have pushed them off the carriers after the defeat and the victorious Vietnamese fished out over 100 of US choppers from the South China seas and the infamous Gulf of Tonkin and sold them to many parties, including Iran along with F-4E and F-5.

Vox Populi

CH-53 entered service in 1981 or 6 years after the US defeat in Vietnam, so your dad is telling fibs to a child, I am sorry to say.

Samuel Vanguard

sorry you don’t know American Military History go research and read when CH-53 entered service https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6225aef8ce046b7aa966e1d99305714cafd7bdf25e0eec7b56703c9cf040f937.png
