US Marine heavy helicopter lifting heavy loads | CH-53E Super Stallion

The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion is the largest and heaviest helicopter in the United States military. As the Sikorsky S-80 helicopter it was developed from the CH-53 Sea Stallion, notably by adding a third engine, a seventh blade to the main rotor and a 20-degree canting tail rotor.  https://youtu.be/5_2YbFxr6yE

f-15 user manual got leaked on the war thunder forums and i immediately thought of you. by the way, i've thought about your fic every single day since i've read it.

I KNOW THERE’VE BEEN LIKE 5 WAR THUNDER INCIDENTS THIS WEEK LOL!! & someone posted that they had to be a character witness for their friend who was trying to get a job with Raytheon and one of the questions literally was “does your friend play war thunder?” bc of the history of classified leaks lmfao. Like gaijin is a natsec threat. it also happened to the f-16 (because apparently the war thunder f-16 flies like a brick compared to the real f-16, so the real f-16 specs got leaked to prove it) and…… and…… the RUSSIAN SU-57. aka their super classified supposedly fifth-gen fighters that we now know to be pieces of shit because of leaks like this one. knowing what we know now: of COURSE maverick fucked up 2 su-57s in a 40 year old f-14.

thank you for thinking of me!!! It means so much <3

#btw if anyone can find the mh-53j/m natops manual for me i would sell my soul #ive been looking for months #found a ch-53e manual which is close but it’s from the 60s #i would love to play War thunder except that i have no interest in any vehicle that isn’t airplanes #and it would take up 44gb on my laptop and probably make it explode #so i have to experience it vicariously through memes #thank you for the ask <333 #not top gun #asks #military aviation

F-35A fighter loses side panel while flying over Okinawa in Japan

The absence of this part could potentially compromise the aircraft's stealth capabilities.

An F-35A Lightning II jet fighter from the 18ª USAF Fighter Wing of the Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, suffered an incident during a routine training flight when a right panel loosened during the flight on December 18.

Upon realizing the problem, the pilot started a landing and, during the subsequent ground checks, it was found that the hexagonal side panel on the right side of the fighter was missing, weighing approximately 2 kilos. The panel that crashed is crucial because it covers external connection points for electronic devices. The absence of this part could potentially compromise the aircraft's stealth capabilities, specifically its low radar cross-section.

In response to the incident, a spokesman for the Okinawa Defense Office, which represents Japan's Ministry of Defense on the island, issued a statement on Tuesday night. The spokesman urged the U.S. military to take preventive measures to avoid similar accidents in the future, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the safety of U.S. military aircraft operations.

The F-35 involved in the incident is part of a rotating deployment from Eielson Air Base, Alaska, to Okinawa. The F-35A, which lost the right panel, serves as one of the aircraft that temporarily replaces the 48 old F-15C/D fighters that were previously stationed at Kadena Air Base until a permanent solution is determined.

Okinawan residents have been particularly sensitive to incidents involving air accidents and falling wreckage due to past occurrences. Notable incidents include an accident of the CH-53D Sea Stallion of the U.S. Marine Corps on the Ginowan campus of the International University of Okinawa in 2004, as well as an incident in December 2017, where a window fell from a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter of the Marine Corps near a school athletics field, causing minor injuries to a child.

This recent incident with the F-35A underscores the constant concerns and requires enhanced safety measures to mitigate the potential risks associated with military aircraft operations in the region. Authorities on both sides are likely to conduct investigations to determine the cause of the detachment from the panel and prevent future occurrences.
