The Osprey, getting tired of its normal diet of Marines, has

It hungers for osushi

But I love you Osprey. You transported me from Kuwait to Sinjar, and multiple other locations.

Don't leave me, my penis is larger than Japs. Plus I loved how you leaked fluids on me. Stay with me Baby.

Japanese aircraft color schemes are always so aesthetic.

>faster
>larger operational range
>still able to operate from the same locations
tell me how are these worse then a normal helicopter

>>34983132
needs a runway to take off
costs at least double to purchase, while carrying less
crazy maintenance heavy
can't land at high altitudes
zero armor on it unlike normal choppers who can handle small arms fire
Can't autorotate so if its going down everyone is dead

>>34983278
It's not some ultralight STOL hopper
You need runways to take off, paved areas to land, constant babying, etc

It's a pile of shit

>>34983368

even heavy lift helos need rolling takeoffs at altitude.

>>34983407
due to its small prop, the ospreys lift falls off much faster than a conventional helo
Also due to forward flight it can easily fly itself to a place it can't land, thats been the cause of several crashes so far

>>34981824
I didn't know they were building jap birds already... I'll have to keep an eye out for them. hopefully I can get some good pics.

I think they're US built, but delivered to the Japanese for initial rollout
