Thread 64446720

In two different but consecutive incidents, a Seahawk and a Super Hornet from the Nimitz CSG just crashed in the SCS. All crew were recovered safely. No idea of the cause(s) for both of these crashes yet.

Hopefully, one of those craft was carrying John Podesta.

If I was a high ranking general in the Navy I would just ditch a couple aircraft in the water in full view of my enemies every so often to cultivate a false sense of superiority.

I kept warning you guys that Chinese weapons research was jumping generations ahead of us. The Chinese have weapons that we can't even imagine at this point. They are undetectable and lethal. USA has no chance in an armed conflict with China or to defend Taiwan.

>>64446720 (OP)
Loss of power due to issues with the engines, I bet. Supposedly the navy has been having maintenance issues for a good long while now

>>64446735

>cause
Most aircraft maintenance is handled by 19-25 year olds who haven’t slept right in years and subsist on a diet of Zyn and Monster

Ok I'm calling it now, it's bad fuel.

>>64446720 (OP)
The US is scared of China. They for sure took both of these down in preparation for the Trump talks. Just another masterstroke from Xi as he acclimates the US for total takeover of the pacific. Taiwan is going to be taken without a bullet.

implessive, vely olganic

why has the US navy had so many aircraft fall into the sea in the past few years?

>>64447077
It has a lot of aircraft
It uses a lot of aircraft
# of failures is rate of failure * # of flights

>>64446720 (OP)
Could be hacked by china

>>64447077
Because they were useless without shells, as a part of such a military

>>64446756
Here comes the Chinese shilling. Anyways, do we have any news yet on what caused the crash?

>>64447077
Because even though the US has a lot of new advanced planes, most US airplanes are still decades old and only getting older

>>64446748
Smart strategy.
I would also let my ships get rammed into by Malaysian cargo ships, for the same reason.

>>64446812
>and subsist on a diet of Zyn and Monster
And thats a good thing

>>64447946
chinese jamming. you need to leave our sea yankee. your time here has expired

>>64447077
High tempo operations on a constant basis because of muh readiness, leaving little time for proper maintenance and crew rest.

send nimitz home and extend the Gdub

>aircraft sank to bottom of the sea.
Looks like they forgot to close the hatch.

>>64446983
>went right over his head
Retard

>>64447077
Old equipment

>>64447960
Especially in the case of the Navy. Currently there are zero aircraft on flight decks that were actually naval designs or even requested by the Navy. But let's makes sure the USAF gets their 763748476th stealth fighter class.

>>64446720 (OP)
PREDICTION GIVEN USNAVY; It will come down to poor maintenance AND fake parts, since all the good people already left when poofters and troons became a thing in the laughable usnavy.

>>64446720 (OP)
Diversity hire pilots

fuck zyn and fuck retard promoting this dumbshit

>The LY-1 (Chinese: 燎原-1; pinyin: liaoyuan-1; lit. 'prairie fire 1'[1]) is a Chinese shipborne or ground-based high-energy laser weapon designed to intercept drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft. The laser weapon system was unveiled at the 2025 China Victory Day Parade.

ayy checkem
>the implications of bad fuel are pretty grim though, how many safeguards have failed for it to affect two different craft?

>>64447481
>these crashes are planned
Lol mutt cope is unreal

>>64448972
Amerikkka will bomb some kaaba worshipers in caves to feel good About themselves after getting double punked like this

>>64450125
It was probably just one bad batch, the two crashes happened in short succession so they were probably fueled from the same source. Seahawks have turbine engines so they use the same fuel as jets.

>>64446720 (OP)
vid got leaked

>>64447969
Your insight and skills would be wasted on the duties of a mere fleet admiral. We're sending you to The Hill.

>>64450240
Doesn't change his question. You have to miss a lot of fuel QC checks in a lot of places for this to happen like it appears to have.
>t. clear and bright and free of shite

>>64450125
Squadron line shackers take fuel samples from every aircraft on the flight schedule. ABFs (purple shirts) do a bunch of their own fuel samples before allowing it to be pumped.

>>64450894
lmao

>>64450894
Growlers can also do ASW in addition to SEAD

>>64450894
So this is that famous "diving bomber" plane that i heard of

the south china sea "deterrence" cruise—aimed squarely at china—is turning into a farce
without the PLAN even twitching a finger, you've already lost 2 aircraft
total joke.
stay docked at home base; these brain-dead ops just broadcast your vulnerabilities
oh, and your rustbucket fleet?
way too ancient for endless patrols like this

>>64447976
if that's what's happening under no duress in peace time, god help them if war breaks out

Shit happens all over the world all of the time

>worlds combined largest flying force by a wide fucking margin has numerically higher accident rates but statistically low rates
Oh no its the end of America....oh save me chinaman...ohhhhhh

>>64451533
Op tempo for squadron/air department would not change much during wartime. That's how rough the flight schedule is.

>>64451525
What is the purpose of spamming slopbot shit on this Tuvaluan fish breeding forum, little pink?

>sortie out to scare the big bad chinese menace
>lose two aircraft (And god knows how many more until this shot show ends)
pretty humiliating, desu.
And the best part about it? China has repeated its winning strategy for the 10th million time in a row; sit back and do nothing.

Is this the script the changs have been given now?

>>64451839
Yes, they have recently forgotten their little cronching incident with that Philippine fishing boat in the West Phillipine Sea, and are now pretending that they are just sitting at home doing nothing, and the ooooo big bad Mr America should just go home

>>64446720 (OP)
It's what happens when you put killswitches in all your shit.

>>64450109
>Trump said this
So, whatever it was, it almost certainly wasn't that. When that man says "good morning" you really need to check your watch.

>>64451586
>Oh no its the end of America....oh save me chinaman...ohhhhhh
DESU, that happened a long time ago, and now it's on the zombie shuffle as bits fall off more and more frequently... But I'm sure doubling down on retardations will fix it.

>>64452202
You're an idiot.

Tard. Used knife is dull knife.

>>64452210
My, that gave me a lot to think about with that scathing rebuttal. How will I ever cope.

>>64452221
Three outta three wrong. Can you try any harder to be more wrong?

While we're at that, you do realise just how many of your countrymen are below the poverty line? Kinda a key indicator for 'third world'. Along with power failures every time the wind blows or it rains. Generally unable to afford healthcare. Lax educational standards that are dropping at an exponential rate. Should I keep going? There's an extensive list you've managed.

>water filled planes
implessive

>>64453438
You've been butthurt for hours now, chinky. This can't be good for your health

>lost 2 planes

>>64446756
More like Chinese maintenance procedures are jumping ahead. Or again, more like American skills are backsliding.

>>64450894
fuckin' boeing

>>64451533
If war breaks out 20% of them are expeced to be dead in a month anyway

>>64448841
Someone's been using Mc Donalds straws instead of high pressure lines again

Trump said it was bad fuel. So we can rule that out.

>>64453438

I call bullshit, turbines are very fuel tolerant, much more so than piston engines.

>>64455181
Pure speculation, but I wonder if the cause was something like that airliner a few years ago where the filter on the pump shit the bed and almost caused complete engine failure.

>>64451525
see, it works
>>64446748

>>64447481
The USN has for nearly all of living memory had a lot of planes and a lot of flights. That hasn't changed.

>>64446756
Thanks for the heads up Dave Changson from Ohio province.

Did this post have a purpose?

>>64458100
more purpose than your existence

>>64458100
Does yours? Don't answer that, rhetorical question.

>Chinks fly too close to American pilots to harass them
>Chink pilots aren't as good as they think they are and crash into Americans
>Chinese government says nothing and US government says "oops, must have run out of fuel or something" because no one wants a war right now
