https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2026/06/10/they-got-very-lucky-trump-says-of-downed-apache-helicopters-crew/ Going to see some massive shake ups in the military industry. Fewer helicopters built as they transition to drones? Fewer pilots in 10 years? |

we have massive war profiteering going on with Iran. if a change in tactics means less money spent, even on weapons we no longer need or are effective, unlikely it will happen. we use multi million dollar bombs and aircraft and the enemy launches cheap drones that are more lethal. even if kegseth figured this out, it won’t change anything. oh, but it’s much harder to commit wars crimes taking out civilian infrastructure so we’ll need big bombs for that |

The age of helicopters operating anywhere near front line battle is mostly over. There's still a place for spec ops, but the attack and assault is a thing of the past. |
