From Battlefield to Scrap Yard: What Happens to U.S. Army Helicopters After Retirement?

From Battlefield to Scrap Yard: What Happens to U.S. Army Helicopters After Retirement? What really happens when a U.S. Army helicopter reaches the end of its service life? In this episode of FACTORY FOUNDER, we take you deep inside a massive open-air industrial recycling yard where legendary American military helicopters — including the AH-1 Cobra and UH-1 Iroquois — begin their final mission on the ground. Under the bright morning sun, you’ll witness the complete heavy mechanical process: • Main rotor blade removal • Turboshaft engine extraction • Transmission and driveshaft separation • Airframe sectioning and canopy removal • Hydraulic shearing and plasma cutting • Industrial crushing and shredding • Magnetic and eddy current metal separation • Final material sorting and dispatch From combat-ready airframes to sorted aluminum, steel, and copper, this documentary-style breakdown shows how aviation-grade military hardware is transformed into reusable industrial material. This isn’t demolition — it’s precision heavy engineering, material recovery, and large-scale industrial logistics in action. If you’re passionate about American military equipment, heavy machinery, recycling technology, and large-scale factory operations, this is a process you won’t want to miss.
