    Never forget that the Army wants its own much larger fleet of Ospreys. We're talking about the V280 Valor, they want to replace all Blackhawks with those starting in 2030.

    A thousand Ospreys! Unlimited crashes! Endless VTOL genocide!

      Actually went ahead and looked up some numbers - as long as the Army doesn't change its plan, production will begin in 2027 already and the V-280 will have to replace at least 3,000 Blackhawks and Apaches. Oh and this crap will get pushed on the allies, so get ready for Fallschirmjagers drowning in the Baltics in this POS contraption lol.

        Comrades Bell Helicopter and Boeing are about to kill way more Imperialist soldiers than any first world leftist movement has in a long time.
