"Osprey" läheb Iraaki.
Osprey'd valmistavad küünikutele meelehärgmi.
http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,1 ... ml?wh=newsAs of Dec. 28, three months through a scheduled seven-month deployment, the 23 pilots of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263, known as VMM-263, had logged 1,639 hours of flight time in Iraq, carried 6,826 passengers and delivered 631,837 pounds of cargo without a mishap or even a close call.
Osprey läheb Afganistani.
http://www.defensetech.org/archives/005 ... l#commentsRick's got a point, though I would caveat it with the fact that in all likelihood the Ospreys will be operating mostly in support of RC-South where the capitol of Helmand provide sits at around 3,400 feet in elevation. I'd be interested to see the inside scoop on whether the Osprey can take off and land in a full-on hover in the altitudes of RC-East, though I suspect like with lots of helos (even the CH-47) there are some weight and landing altitude restrictions that will bracket the Osprey's operations.
Osprey kukkus Afganistanis alla.

http://pogoblog.typepad.com/pogo/2010/0 ... ainer.htmlOn April 9, the Air Force announced that a CV-22 Opsrey crashed in the Zabul Province of southern Afghanistan, killing three service members, one civilian employee, and injuring many others.

The cause of the crash is currently being investigated — the Taliban claimed credit, but the International Security Assistance Force says that the cause remains unknown, and an investigation is underway.

Last March a loose bolt in the Marine's version of the Osprey in Iraq grounded the whole fleet.

Osprey, CSAR ülesanne, 800 miili
On June 1, 2010 a helo carrying 32 people went down during a special operations raid near Kunduz in Northeast Afghanistan. A severe dust storm and the Hindu Kush mountain range foiled attempts by other helos to reach the stranded crew and passengers who were under small arms and mortar fire. Two CV-22s from the 8th Special Operations Squadron launched out of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan within two hours of being alerted and flew 400-miles straight to the site — over the 15,000-foot mountains and through “very low visibility” – and back to Kandahar with the 32 stranded troops in less than four hours.
