Recently, the United States suffered three consecutive fighter plane accidents, resulting in the unfortunate death of two pilots and the destruction of civilian houses, triggering huge claims. For the US military, this can be called a frequent disaster, and it cannot stop this wave of chain disasters. In just a few days, three serious accidents occurred one after another.
First, on October 20, a U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet suddenly crashed while training in California, right at a nearby Navy Air Weapons Base. Two pilots successfully skydived and smoked on the side of the road nearby to relax.
Then on October 23, a U.S. Navy T-6B trainer crashed, killing both pilots. At the time of the tragedy, warplanes crashed into civilian homes, causing an explosion.
This was followed by an emergency on October 24 when a C-17 Globemaster large transport aircraft landed directly on the ground at Kandahar airport in Afghanistan.
US Army spokesman Colonel Sonny Leggett pointed out that the recent US military aircraft accidents have clearly shown a frequent trend, although a series of measures have been taken, but there has been no obvious improvement, and the frequent accident situation has not been improved. What makes the US military even more painful is that the crash of the T-6B trainer not only caused casualties, but also crashed into a local civilian house, and will face huge claims from the owner.
Prior to this, the US military had just had to compensate $25 million for casualties caused by misfiring by warplanes. At the moment, the exact amount claimed by the homeowner is unknown, but the estimate will not be low.
These three consecutive aircraft accidents can be described as one after another, which can be called frequent bad luck, and the disaster is not alone. In fact, planes keep crashing, various problems are constantly plagued, and it is becoming the norm for the US military. The withering of the national movement has also made the US military obviously decline.
The United States is facing a serious crisis of hollowing out domestic industry, and the entire industrial manufacturing system has a big problem. Although the US military's military enterprises have a high status in the United States, they are also affected by the hollowing out of manufacturing. Today, there are only one or two shipyards left in the US military, and the industrial chain of fighters is no longer complete, laying hidden dangers for aircraft accidents.
Of course, the excessive use of fighters by the US military is also an important reason for the frequent accidents. The US military believes in military supremacy and often resorts to military means to solve problems encountered. In the current serious situation of the US crisis, the US military has increased its intervention and destruction on a global scale.
The US military continues to disrupt and destroy in the Black Sea, the Middle East, South America, the Western Pacific and other places, resulting in excessive fatigue of a large number of fighters and fatigue pilots. The combined effect of these factors naturally leads to the frequent occurrence of aircraft accidents.
