The ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US Army has had two Apache helicopter crashes within 48 hours, with the latest sending two soldiers to the hospital when their aircraft went down Wednesday evening near Fort Carson, Colo., the service confirmed Thursday.

The AH-64 Apache from the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division crashed around 6:30 p.m. during a routine training exercise. The two pilots suffered minor injuries and were taken to the on-base hospital before being released the same night, according to the Army.

A team from the Army Combat Readiness Center at Fort Novosel, Ala., will investigate the crash, with all aviation assets grounded at the base until further notice.

The incident is the second Apache crash in just 48 hours, with the same helicopter model going down Monday at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

In that accident, the two pilots were injured when their aircraft assigned to 4th Squadron, 6th Air Cavalry Regiment, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade crashed during a routine training exercise around 9:30 p.m., base officials said.


That crash is also under investigation.

The accidents follow two other Apache mishaps in February: A Mississippi National Guard Apache helicopter crashed Feb. 23, killing the two pilots aboard, and a Utah National Guard Apache went down Feb. 12, with both pilots surviving.

Those incidents prompted the Army to ground all of its National Guard helicopter units for a safety review.

The US military has also struggled with rotary-wing aircraft accidents in the past several years, with the deadliest such crashes in November, when five soldiers were killed when their MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was downed over the Mediterranean Sea. The same month, eight Marines died in when their V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft crashed near Japan.

And in March 2023, nine troops were killed when two Black Hawks collided near Fort Campbell, Ky.

This country might actually be under some high tech attack without knowing or understanding the nature of attack due to the advanced technology the attackers are using. Since those balloons flew into the US something Is yet to add up

No one is attacking them.

Just inferior military technology.

What they wished upon Russia is happening to them.

The US military has gone woke and this is the consequence.
You engage an engineer simply because he is LGBTQ and not because of competence

Investigate, find out the helicopter is faulty and then sell to third world countries even if it's on debit and long term lease.

Use the funds and start R&D into a better and safer ones

the truth is that, the standard of quality the US has maintained in productions for years, has been compromised... The Boeing saga is just the one that was exposed, we cant tell how many other companies that are following that part...

Thank goodness no life lost. But helicopter crashes in USA are worrisome given the frequency and casualties. The wigwes will never, ever remain the same following a fatal chopper incident in USA. It's wise to avoid the chopper in USA no matter what even if you're swimming in billions like Herbert was.

The USA conducts lot's of live fire drills alot and very frequent,
This is what they call pilot air time,
Most countries pilot's gets to fly 2 time's a month, without such air time the airforce will lose a lot of there best pilot's to private air companies.
Hence the constant and frequent military drills.
Also the USA airforce is also transparent, this you can easily hear and see them posr about crashes,
God knows how. Many jets Russia have lost in the Ukraine war, you won't see any state media carry such news, same with the who there media space is tightly regulated

The USA airforce Apache is currently the best attack helicopters in the world, and proven itself in combat and is used by over 13 countries

Aside from mechanical issues and bad weather conditions, human errors can also lead to these sorts of frequent U.S. military copter crashes. These high-end copters cost a lot to purchase and maintain.
