What's new

Israeli CH-53 Stallion is down

. .
The news from channel 12 of israel.
There wasno stallion ch53 destroyed before worldwide so the photo is correct, hamas destroyed it.
Anyway you google this photo and see the result.


One cannot tell if the downed Heli is an older CH-53 "Yasur" or the newer batch of 20 Lockheed CH-53K's Israel bought recently with US Aid Money.


The older CH-53 is over 50 years old and there were serious issues with the reliability of its engines because of old age, dust in the engines etc. which resulted in several crashes as late as 2019. The newer CH-53K batch of 20 also has serious dust intake issues for the engines in Israeli conditions which Lockheed has not resolved.

It was yasur.

Attacking Russian helicopters with RPG's was a standard tactic in Afghanistan.

Even a near miss would shake a pilot's nerve.
Dont forget the shoot down of 3 us helos in somalia during the battle of mogadishu on 4-10-1993,that was done with rpg-7s.

There is still no confirmed news regarding this.

Hezb has a ton of Kornets/other variants, don't know about Hamas. A lot of ATGM even some TOW variants can be used to shoot down low altitude flying aircrafts

But this doesn't change the fact we're waiting for a confirmation if it is true or not
Hamas has both the kornet and the dprk bulsae 2,which is the older konkurs atgm upgraded with the same laser beam riding guidance as the kornet.

You can see how man portable these things are compared to bulky old monstrosities like the Tow.
 
. . .
From what i've read, the helicopter made an emergency landing (either malfunction or hit in the air) and was then targeted by mortar fire from the Hamas. One Israeli paratrooper was injured due to shrapnel and was taken to hospital.
From the images it appears someone took his time to destroy it completely. In the absence of massive casualties, it would appear to have been deliberately destroyed to prevent capture before troops evacuated.

Some say it was destroyed by mortar fire, others by ATGM. But it could also be a possibility.

Alhumdulillah

Pajeets also have 50 less dads now
No hope unless Eygpt has a army rebellion and eygptian asim munir is out and Syria gets involved which has brutal Assad in power and its own civil war

All eyes on Eygpt otherwise expect 40-50,000 casualties

Palestinians should curse their grandfathers for selling land to jews
