Is it a good idea to send such a new and unproven aircraft to the battefield after 3 crashes?

Trial by fire I guess. Only one way to know if it really works in combat.

i don't think that's a good idea, if they have a tendency to fall down from the sky.

they have done a lot of improvements to the V-22 recently. I think will do fairly well.

why?

ffs, throwing more money and helicopter/airplanes that shoot themselves down will not win this war. Nothing is going to win this war. gtfo..

But they probably aren't sending the Osprey to win the (unwinnable) war, they're sending it to test it out in combat situations.
