The US Army’s Apache helicopters are crashing at a historically high rate amid a widespread problem with the model’s transmission, according to a CNN analysis of military accident data.
The helicopter type has experienced five major crashes since October, and a deadly mishap earlier this month in Texas killed two soldiers, sparked a wildfire and led the Army to temporarily bar Apache pilots from conducting routine training flights. With that crash, fiscal year 2026 is on pace to be the second worst for Apache flight accidents since a new model of the AH-64 was rolled out in 2011.
The Army announced that the pause in training flights, which exempted units deployed to the Middle East, ended Wednesday.
I have gone through rabbit hole of inconsistencies, but I don’t obsess over whether they are copies of other myths/legends. I study the more modern corruptions/inventions. I understand Jesus’s words as worth following, independent of any of his miracles/origin/heaven. I object to a church dogma based on 1. every word in the bible has to be true, or anarchy. 2. if there are contradictions the first chronological event must be more true. The convenience of this dogma of Moses Hierarchy and war as primacy is that it strengthens any Church hierarchy, and then through Constantine (first emperor to convert to Christianity and make it state religion) make the Romans the chosen people authorized to genocide and abuse any heretic who might consider Christ as not agreeing with Pope/Emperor.
In this we are in agreement.
Blessings, friend.
