          As an option. In general, I watch various American TV shows, which in fact are filmed for teenagers and for American blacks. So all the media production of the last year or two, aimed at blacks, in fact, promoted riots and uprisings. The street gangs there are, in fact, if not good, then neutral, and the main villains are the US federal agencies and services. The US Army has long been portrayed in a negative way in such media. And since the age of 16, the US president has become almost the main negative hero. If earlier for various heroes the highest honor was simply a photo with the president, now the opposite is true. The President of the United States, even if he does not directly participate in TV shows or films, is at least mentioned in a negative way. And in general, in my opinion, the climax was the film The Joker, which essentially celebrates the rebellion of a little man. The audience of such TV series and films, and these are mainly young people, have been preparing for several years for what is happening on their streets now. request

    four crew members were able to safely leave the plane
    There is someone to ask (besides the recorders) what actually happened on board. I looked at the list of operators of this aircraft by the United States: China, Israel, Mexico, Egypt, France, Japan, Singapore. Operated since the 60s. And the Americans often point fingers at our planes, which, in their opinion, are outdated long ago.

      Maybe because on "their" aircraft avionics are undergoing constant modernization and overhaul, and we have most of the boards of auxiliary and bomber aircraft equipped with equipment of the 80s-90s?
      When it’s just a holiday for the commander of a unit to get at the disposal of something developed / produced in the early-mid 2000s.
      Well, remember that the original aircraft and its modification are not the same thing, otherwise you and the Tu-22M3 will be "operated since the 60s."

      There are too many old planes, and they are being used intensively. There was a plaque somewhere on the health of various types of aircraft in the American Air Force. For some types, it is faulty in the area of ​​half. There are too many planes, there is not enough money for repair and modernization of all. And then there's F35 eating money like a vacuum cleaner. The operating costs are too high, and the Air Force's budget is not rubber, so as not to think about it.
