Video: MeidasTouch links Colorado Black Hawk mishap, Apache crashes to Trump military failures in Iran war

MeidasTouch links Colorado Black Hawk mishap, Apache crashes to Trump military failures in Iran war

Aug 25, 2026

The MeidasTouch segment reports a fresh U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk 'crash' in Colorado with no injuries, frames it amid a spike in Apache helicopter accidents due to transmission failures, and ties both to broader Trump administration mismanagement during the 2026 Iran conflict. It highlights an alleged cover-up of casualties, Iranian missile/drone damage to U.S. intelligence sites costing billions, a June Apache downing over the Strait of Hormuz used as war pretext, a Marine One near-miss with a passenger jet, misuse of helicopters by JD Vance and Pete Hegseth, the death of Cmdr. Gabriel Edwards, Pentagon addition of 60 wounded to casualty rolls, an Alaska military plane crash killing eight, and a New Mexico medevac crash linked to GPS jamming tests. Sourcing mixes verified outlets (CNN on Apaches, NBC on intelligence damage, Stars and Stripes on casualties and crashes) with open-source satellite imagery, unverified assertions about hidden pilots and thousands of unreported injuries, and on-screen charts/graphics of losses. No named military experts or administration officials appear; the host drives a through-line of regime incompetence and deception.
