holy shit they legit look like WWII era parachutes theyve only just worked out how to wear now.

now what happens when locals repack them for re-use...

A lot more action in the video.

Wait so none of them was taught how to drop?

i dont think they thought that far ahead somehow

They are dropping just fine...
Are you expecting more from a giant round green sheet with holes in it and few ropes attached?

Static line drops are always done with traditional parachutes. It's the pilot's job to get the plane over the pre-determined drop zone at the correct altitude so that the paratroopers can land safely.

I've done static line with a steerable. Yeah the pilot fucked up but holy shit they're all over the place.

Was that static line drop military?

Parafoils are not used when dumping a bunch of guys out of an airplane because of the increased risk of running into each other. But IDK maybe there are situations where it actually makes sense?

Probably when you're dropping experts, not tweedle dee and tweedle dumb who qualify twice a year.

Did the "paratroopers" jump the gun?

I'm kinda thinking those parachutes MUST have some small degree of steerage. You can reach up and grab lines to warp the shape and observe the effect.

Yes, and those are steering holes as well.

Weather report for Lagos:
Mostly sunny and hot with a chance for isolated nigger storms widely scattered.

Chinese build the oil infrastructure in Nigeria. It's neo-colonialism/communism. They also bring in a lot of money scamming the elderly.
