Recently, a series of serious accidents have occurred in the US military, and these accidents have raised concerns about the state of equipment and combat readiness of the US side. One of the latest incidents was the collision of two AH-64D Apache military *** near Alaska Pass. According to the American Times, the investigation report showed that the accident caused the unfortunate death of three soldiers.
The accident occurred on April 27 this year, when 14 AH-64D Apache *** of the 1st Attack Battalion of the 25th Air Regiment of the US Army were returning to base from a training flight, and one *** accidentally collided with the other, causing two planes to crash. Since then, there have been a number of accidents in the U.S. military, such as the crash of two Black Hawk Medical*** in Kentucky, and the rollover of a tactical vehicle during training at a base in California, which caused ** and equipment losses.
The frequent incidents of the US military during this period have aroused people's concerns about the state of its armaments. In the past month or two, similar incidents have occurred one after another, including the crash of an F-16 fighter jet during a joint military exercise between the U.S. military and South Korea on December 11, causing heavy lossesThe crash of the CV-22 Osprey tiltrotor near Kagoshima Prefecture in late November killed all eight soldiers on board.
This series of incidents has raised questions about the frequent accidents of the US military, which may be partly due to the excessive military actions of the US side, and on the other hand, it is also related to its old equipment. For example, the AH-64D Apache *** and F-16 fighters were both born in the seventies and eighties of the last century, which can be said to be "classic aircraft". These old equipment may be difficult to adapt to the needs of modern warfare, and may also have certain technical limitations, which has laid a hidden danger for the occurrence of accidents.
The U.S. ** team needs to seriously examine the issue of equipment upgrading, gradually phase out old equipment, and conduct stricter training and management to reduce the occurrence of such tragic incidents and ensure the safety of soldiers and equipment. This is also a necessary adjustment to the future development of the US military.
