Pretty sure a Marine One helicopter costs a lot more than one million dollars....

[@xippzap]

$400 million The upgraded ‘Marine One’ presidential helicopter will still scorch the White House lawn After more than $1 billion spent in development, a small price to pay to haul Brandon and Hunter around in.

[@rdeh1678]

Is there not 3 of them

[@1456Sassy]

Yep!

[@Curious19864]

Exactly

[@elessartelcontar9415]

​@@rdeh1678there are 28 of them at $40,000,000 each for a total of $11,000,000,000 for the fleet of 28 of them. The reason there are so many is that robust rapid transportation of essential government VIPs; Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, etc... to secure secret places is needed to ensure that the federal government can still function just in case the "balloon" goes up. Bottom line is they're not all designated for use by just the president and his staff. Each one can transport 14 passengers in addition to the crew.

[@josephbrownjr3564]

I live in Wilmington Delaware, and I can promise you that President Biden still flies in Marine 1 because every time he comes home to his compound, they close off the road that I live off of. And at least once a month that chopper flies over my house

[@ianbelletti6241]

I promise you that it's not always Marine 1. It's only Marine 1 when the president is on. Even if the president is not on the helicopter it can be used to bring foreign dignitaries to and from the White House and other locations that the President may be.

[@seanbrazell7095]

The Osprey has had so many chronic issues and fatal crashes that it'd be insane to use it for presidential use.

[@lordphullautosear]

It's made to transport a platoon, more or less.

[@athelwulfgalland]

Just consider the channel's name; Beyond Facts. Meaning of course that they'll also put plenty of BS into their videos without batting an eye. There were several groan worthy details in this video.

[@athelwulfgalland]

​@@seanbrazell7095 That in itself could be a lotto style problem solver regardless of which talking head is in office! lol That said I agree, the Osprey is a cursed design & never should've been approved for series production. That machine first flew back in '89 & yet wasn't introduced to service until '07? Considering that her development started back in 1983 that makes her "cutting edge technology" 24 years out of date. Never mind this ignores that the technology was first conceptualized by the Germans in WW2 & successive generations of Bell technology demonstrators examined the tilt-rotor or "converti-plane" concept from '51 to '92. The design has never been, isn't currently & never will be safe. As far as I'm concerned all of them should be put in the boneyard to support the few CMV-22B Carrier Onboard Delivery variants which the Navy & Marine Corps absolutely need. I'm real leery of the Valor too. If anything the new tilt-rotor mechanism is a little more dodgy than the one used in the Osprey. I would've much rather have seen the Sikorsky-Boeing SB-1 Defiant go into production as it used tried & true tech with a KISS principle solution to increase forward speed in flight. Any thoughts on the two leading contenders for the FARA (Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft) project?

[@Subgunman]

I have overheard some democrats suggest that the current president should use the osprey. Very unusual.

[@danduffy7974]

I have no doubt that Marine 1 has all those counter measures but i would bet that there is so much more to ensure the safety of the chopper.This video has probably just scratched the surface of what the aircraft can do. The Govt. would be stupid if they let you know EVERYTHING about this chopper. Many people consider the Govt. stupid, but not that stupid.

[@djtobygaming]

for instance another video I watched on the tv I think nat geo but im not sure talked about Marine 1 having ECM defenses which would make sense in a technological era

[@SuperPhunThyme9]

[@Walkercolt1]

Sadly, "dumb missiles" like RPG's are very effective against rotary aircraft, especially at take-off. In 'Nam, "getting-out-of-the-hole" (ground to "safe" altitude) became KING of helo use in "hot" areas. Fully optically guided missiles like "Stingers" (40 years obsolete) have become an expensive but effective threat too. "Air Force One is bigger and has to take-off too." Yeah but it has counter-measure stuff, God only knows (and He better NOT TELL), better than B-52J's do and the electronics are on-par with the new B-21's, which are FAR improved from the B-2! I was a RADAR S-8 in the USAF in 1974-gonna be on the old DEW-LINE. I can't imagine AF One's signature on RADAR! Make a robin look big!

[@SuperPhunThyme9]

Man I hope they tell. Who gives a rats ass if they have good security or not? Almost nobody in politics is a decent person...and maybe if we voted for them to not have the level of secret service protection, etc., we wouldn't attract so many pussified cowards to elected office. What I'm saying is if we, the voters abolished, say, the secret service, our politicians would all be brave people who don't want to waste any time and and make a point to actually be respectful to people in their attitudes. ....also it would work to prevent parties from getting their rabid voter bases all riled up and angry at each other--because it would be just plain dangerous.

The presidential helicopters are far more than just a helicopter. They are protected from EMP's, have flares, a whole other world of electronics, secure phone lines, advance avionics.

Marine ONE is the helicopter that the CURRENT president rides. It does not matter the type, sign, or specific equipment. The same is true about Air Force One. It is only Air Force One when the President is on board. The tail number is the plane and does not change when used by the President
