Tune down the velocity of lies abeg,
18 U.S. soldiers
Beginning in the summer of 1992 and ending in the spring of 1995, the intervention included the so-called Battle of Mogadishu on October 3–4, 1993, in which 18 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of Somali militia fighters and civilians were killed.

One thing about you guys is that you are not every current, the war started when the war lord farad adid, removed the government and then it spiral into a civil war, the USA only intervene when adid started attacking UN missions and taken food meant for the starving Somalis, bush sent the delta force and the USA rangers to remove adid, the Somalia militants even children were welding guns women too, yes two black hawks were shoot down,. RPG are meant to shoot down helos, thats what they are made for so I wonder why you are putting price on the weapons,
Just the same way a low cost surface to air missiles SAMS can bring down a mutil millions jet,.
Mind you the helos brought down were the transport variant of the black hawsk they were used to transport troops along the battle front this type of helos are slow and vanurable to RPG attacks, if the militants brought down the attack helos like the viper or the Apaches then it worth praising.
The USA lost 8,men the Somalis lost close to 2,000, men two months after the raid on mogdadishu the warlord addid was killed by the same USA.

Mr man I know you hate the USA, write with sense ok

US fighting a war as usual that doesn't concerns them

Well if we read through history, it was more of a Somalia civil war and united Nations peace keeping but US troops were deliberately attacked when they tried to capture the leader of the Somalian forces

Yea 3 black hacks were gunned down

But the Somalian suffered heavy casualties than the US, Malaysia and Pakistani forces

The dragging of the dead US troops was the climax of the war

More reason they didn't interfer in the Rwanda genocide

Very correct

Even if the gun was mounted it's still not an attack helos, mini gun can't save you from a rocket projectile.

Attack helos are smaller, just two person, a pilot and the weapon officer, they are smaller more agile and faster, that black hawk is used to insert troops into battle,
If you watch the film black hawk down, you will see that this black hawks were used by the rangers to fast trope Into the city, then they moved into holding patterns to monitor the mission.
Google attacct helos, you will see alot of difference.
You need to wake up and stop dreaming, any military helicopter armed with an assult weapon used for military operations is an attack helicopter bro.

Anything can be armed now, I can take a passenger helo add a sub machine guns it won't make it an attack helicopter.

What am saying is this, the black hawk helos are not made to be used as an attack helicopter, the USA uses is for transport around battle field, yes they have machine guns, some even have rockets pods, dose weapons are used to defend itself from small arms welding attackers, it can never be used for attacking targets because it is large and very slow,that is why there is attack helos, designed for attack, like the picture you posted you can see the difference, the acttcak helos is just for the pilot and it's weapons operator .

The black hawk were always going to vunureble to RPG, you can't hit an Apaches with an Old Soviet Union RPG

We are talking about an armed military helicopter in a warzone not a prisidential aircraft with a weapon design to defend the US president. The air force one is not fabricated for the purpose of war and beside there are no weapons onboard the air force one and it is not an helicopter but an aircraft.

The Blackhawk mike Durant was flying that was shot down in somalia was armed with a minigun, a minigun is a powerful machine gun capable of firing 6,000 rounds per minute.

That helicopter was design for attacking purpose because in order to defend itself it has to attack, "attack is the best form of defense" and that makes it an attack helicopter, but it couldn't even defend itself from Somali militias whom the US underated.

Below are pics of a minigun, please when next you contend my write up do it with factual evidence, citations would be appreciated.

So, you don’t know USA backed and financed Saddam during Iraq-Iran war.
USA supported and supplied Iraq against Iran, and even allowed Iraq to use chemical weapons on Iranians.

What are you saying, you called that "an abduction and rescue"? Who were they there to rescue? A black hawk attack helicopter with a mounted minigun is designed for the purpose of war operations. The presence of armed soldiers with war machines is an indication of combat readiness, judging by this understanding there would never be acceptable claims to raise any doubt that the US didn't actually went there for war.


If us really went for war there would be no somalia to talk about presently

Pls try to calm down and learn ,The US troops only went in for an extraction operation not real war,the U.S. obviously won’t go to war with only 3 Blackhawk’s,and the Blackhawk isn’t an attack helicopter,attack helicopters are only used for attack alone,not for transport of troops whatsoever.

They do not mind distorting the truth to make the US look bad or weak. It is better not to engage them in discussions like this, it will be like pouring water in a basket.

Lol your comment should have been taken to the joke section unfortunately it’s a dry one

The US has over 1000 of such blackhawks why take only 3 for a conventional warfare.

How many Artillery guns were deployed,how many tanks,how many aircraft carriers,how many frigates,how many APC’s,how many transport aircraft’s,for the US the list is almost endless.

The 3 helos were only on an extraction mission however u have no idea of military strategy so it’s like a military combatant taking on a seven year old,you won’t understand,it’s above your pay grade.

If your ability to read and understand is top notch then just short yourself on the foot and it’s clearly stated the mission was just a extraction mission unfortunately the English might be too bright for you so I suggest you go back to your English teacher so he can explain to you as I have no time to babysit retards thanks.
