    LOL I wrote some of the software for the Eurofighter's Missile Approach Warner and for the Harrier Anti-Radar-Homing-Head and involved in the design of the hardware behind the Laser Warning Receivers for the Gazelle helicopter and Lynx helicopter.

    Great, then you can explain what is ancient about the UH-60L and MD530G aircraft and what attributes they have from China with no high spec military systems.

    Actually the credit should go to the mainstream media who elected Biden and the Democrat majority in Congress. The electorate are the media's toadies.

    I'm very pro-American, don't consider myself weak or selfish, and I hate Trump. I know lots of freedom loving independent Americans who did not benefit from Trump's policies. You know what the say about assuming..............
    You should probably avoid generalizations and assumptions.

    So now that we have verified you don't know the difference between the 530G and the civilian version, lets move on to your post.

    Tell us all how the UH-60 and the 530G are ancient, with no high spec military gear, with much of their components made in China.

    Or you can just admit you have no clue what you're talking about.

    There's also American-trained Afghanis in Afghanistan who can fly those planes.
    When the Taliban took over the government, they took over not only the fighter planes but the Afghan military forces and trained pilots as well.

    They don't have money, and even if they did, what would they do with those pilots? Attack Iran or Pakistan with 19 propeller planes and some helicopters?

    I suppose they can use them to kill each other in the upcoming civil war.

    And 28 countries have black hawks.

    You ever going to explain how the UH-60 and the 530G are ancient, with no high spec military gear, with much of their components made in China, or just continue deflecting?

    (I already know the answer)

    With reports US service members are among the dead in today's attacks, this story is going from bad to worse for Joe.

    Yes, and I fear the worst is yet to come. He'll probably have to play the Nixon card after the dust settles.

    The Taliban don't have any 530Gs! And 530Gs and UH-60s are sold all around the world. Which bit don't you understand? None have "high spec top secret software". These aircraft are not stealth aircraft. Much of the components are made in China or Taiwan. China can duplicate any of the equipment in these aircraft

    Why don't you describe the difference between "high spec" secret software and any other spec, top secret or otherwise?

    Then you should discuss that with the Pentagon. They said they do have them. Good luck with that. I think they know more than you do.

    More deflections but they are sold to Allies. Which had nothing to do with what I posted.

    You mean like the software for the Encrypted IFF recognition system
    You mean like the software for the APR-39 radar warning receiver
    You mean like the software for the ALQ-144 infrared countermeasures system
    You mean like the software for target acquisition on the HellFire missile system
    You mean like the software for the Hover IR suppression system (HIRSS)

    Ya think. :roflol:


    Like what. Me and Sikorsky are all ears. Please enrich everyone here with your amazing and intuitive knowledge of Chinas provisions to Sikorsky for our UH-60s.

    Since you obviously don't even have a clue as to what software runs on a UH-60, I Can't wait to hear this.

    Which part of "They don't teach avionics, air-frame or power-plant maintenance at the madrassa" do you not understand?

    Do you know anything about combat aviation? Apparently not.

    There's a relationship between the pilot(s) and the crew that is based on trust, trust that the aircraft is properly maintained, since there's little room for error during flight.

    Granted, most are A-29 Super Tucanos, but it's not exactly a Sopwith Camel.

    It appears they have a lot of power since they have defeated U.S. Army so easily. Power allows to do a lot of things.

    They didn't defeat us with Brazilian turbo-props. They had the power of having the US public opinion on their side, just like North Vietnam did. We lasted 10 yrs in Vietnam and 20 in Afghanistan. Sooner or later politicians will listen to the "bring the troops back home" cries.

    Your inability to refute facts is noted.

    Why? I'm not a Dummicrat and didn't vote for Joe Hiden.

    If Trump hadn't screwed up STUPID-19, he'd still be around and the same thing would be happening and what would you be posting about that?
