Sad.

Bit weird though, earlier today I watched a video about the Osprey and the comments were talking about how the bird was more dangerous to the occupants than the enemy and then I see this

This make something like 50 total people that have been killed in Osprey crashes. Those things are a death trap.

Geez, I remember Ospreys being notorious for crashing as far back as 20 years ago. I guess I'd assumed they would have ironed out the bugs since then.

Makes sense to me.

If Russia fucks around, that training exercise turns into a real war, real fast.

Whereas if you cancel it, there's less troops on ground/in the area to respond and in a peer to peer war, hours matter

This makes as much sense as doing a missile test or a nuke test during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Under full list of shots

Two tests on Oct 18 (Day 3 of the CMC) and the other on Oct 27 (Penultimate day of the CMC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storax

Tioga, Bandicoot, and Santee were tested during the CMC.

Yes, they weren't tested near Cuba but still
