There's a picture going around on facebook and other places of SUPPOSEDLY a dude being hung from a helicopter while it's flying and it's the Taliban allegedly flying it. Seems sus AF but it's still being confirmed or denied as a real pic.

People really overestimate American equipmment. They might get 10 hours of flight time out of it, if that. They don't have the knowledge to work on them, that's either done by Americans or companies that contract with the military, who know that if they get caught working with the Taliban they'll never get another sweet Government contract ever again.
Even then, if they could somehow give them the proper maintenance, they don't have the replacement parts. I'm not saying it's not bad, it's just not this huge ordeal people make it out to be. Besides, Americans leaving equipment behind when we bail on a military occupation is a time honored tradition. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire ...

Lmao, yup military grade is not the gold standard people think it is. Also, military grade isnt a term the military uses. They use Mil-Spec, military grade is a meaningless term with no standard.

I'm at work right now and I can walk out my office door 10 feet away and see a bunch of Blackhawks being built.
As someone said before, maybe they can fly some for a bit, but in a week it will be unusable because they all have special parts and there's part shortages everywhere. On a different aircraft we're going to be waiting until next year for a pilots seat.
