Wonder if the US left these behind after using them to protect Biden while he was there.

It's an S70i. Built/ assembled in Poland and then "exported".

It's all about "behind the curtain". I lso think that there are already leopards in Ukraine.

*wonders why kitties matter* ... *realizes they are probably talking about military stuff lol*
TacticoolWolf
They need to bring back the old naming conventions like Panzerkampfwagens so everyone knows what were talking about.

But .. Uh .. Tiger?

onlyhalfghost
historically, big cats for tanks, big mammals for SPGs, and storm phenomena for SPAA; now all big cats
Forodrim
it is a S-70i Black Hawk, International military version assembled by Sikorsky subsidiary, PZL Mielec in Poland.

The Poles, of course, have no idea how it arrived in Ukraine, but will provide care instructions

You can't just come in here with facts to refute our unsubstantiated theories! What are you, a communist?

Ooo "unsubstantiated theories" that's such a generous reading of our shitpost responses I appreciate that.

Lmao. I hope it’s like..republicans wouldn’t let us give them one, so Biden rode there in one and “accidentally” left it and the keys behind

You are all ignorants ! Zelensky has probably harvested BH seeds when in the US. Put in cotton with moist for 2/3 weeks, protected from
torp
direct light, and it grows big. After 2/3 months it can flight by itself. 3 month month and it grows seeds itself.
torp
legend has it it grows best when seeds are stolen.
Zahnradfee
You have to feed them correclty, though. That's basically the most difficult part of raising a Black Hawk.
torp
Ab-so-lu-te-ly ! Too many people feeds them with low quality product. Feeding them correctly might be expansive, but seeing them flying
stoutde
Very "unexpected". https://youtu.be/r3mNoZrx8qA

I believe it is a case of spontaneous generation of Black Hawk. Rare, but it happens

I still leave room for a Blackhawk in my garage in case one unexpectedly appears. There’s always a chance.

Those are my emotional support M1A2 Abrhams Main Battle Tanks and I need them to hunt deer, I shouldn’t have to pay for plane seats for them

Just customary cultural exchange gifts. A few thousand ARs, Apple Pie, a dozen Blackhawks, Seinfeld on DVD, a HIMARS or six. The usual.

All Canada got when he visited was a pair of aviator sunglasses. I think they were used, too.

Yes but look how much use he gets out of them!

Those were actually James Madison’s shades. Last worn when you bastards torched the White House in the war of 1812. You’re welcome…

would that even be strange for American behavior?? showing up at an anniversary Party with Guns as Presents ?
paragraph
“It depends” But i guess the fact that gifting each other firearms has the potential to be not unusual is jarring.

Hell of a lot better than dumping them in Afghanistan.
peepoLeave
And when you say "dumping them in Afghanistan" you mean something that never actually happened, right?

SomeDetroitGuy
Weird way to say "leaving their disabled corpses in Afghanistan"
MrSnafleburger
Look up how many of those Blackhawks the Taliban are still able to use.
operatingonempty
There were 33. How many are they using…without maintainers, trained crews, or parts…..somewhere around 0
TacticalWeaponsAssaultTeam
First they were non-op. Then they were operational but they could never fly it. Then they flew it. Now it's "they can't do it again"...
mity0k23
For now
onedayillthinkofsomethingtoputhere
In pretty tired of seeing them flying around DC personally...
NCPBullet
Any particular reason?
onedayillthinkofsomethingtoputhere
Mostly just leftover angst from over/improper use during the BLM protests. Also they're just annoying: they fly low, circle, & are loud.
