There is some concern that the helicopter, whose damaged parts were apprehended by the Pakistani military, was built with stealth technology—technology that Pakistan now has its hands on.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 3:30pmcome on now, even if the chopper was a “stealth”, there’s no way that those SEALs would have left any sensitive parts remaining, that’s the first thing you do, destroy all sensitive equipment/information.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 3:27pmDo you really think the top military brass would sacrifice a top secret stealth helicopter on a risky mission like this? I dont think so.
What if this was all planned out… Modify a Blackhawk, blow it up on purpose knowing our enemies will try and piece it together. When in reality, the true stealth choppers are alive and well and kept under wraps.

Imagine the weapons systems you could power up with controlled fusion. I guess you wouldn’t have needed the SEAL then, unless you planned all along to capture him.
Wonder what Osama would have to say about Jon Clarke and other U.S traitors, I mean officials, who have sold our country or whored our country out to the Saudis.

In fact, send them a bill for what we already sent them. They are NOT our friends! Why are we policing the world anyway? Don’t we have better things to do with our money at home? Let us get back to our roots and not let the world affect us until they affect our immediate national security. Let us drill for oil and become completely independent of the world.

The Comanche was scrapped because of the huge cost overruns while I was still in. It was to be an Recon Attack Helicopter RAH-66 to compliment the AH-64 Apache. It had an enclosed tail rotor system where the pictures of the tail section left behind in Pakistan would suggest a shroud of some sort over the gear box and the blades spread further apart but definitely off a MH-60 Blackhawk.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 2:55pmWhat is it about democratic presidents “giving away” our secret military hardware? Besides rocket technology given to the Chinese, Clinton also gave Pakistan a cruse missile when he blew up Osama’s tents and an F-117 to Serbia (both of which probably went to China) – now Obama’s giving away stealth helicopters – geez, it never ends with this redistribution crap

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 3:02pmI know it’s a damn Blackhawk guys! Ugh!
And yes I know it was scrapped. But the military does that all the time; they publicly make a really cool technology, then decide they want to make it secret, so they “scrap it because of high cost”. So, now seeing that this BLACKHAWK HELICOPTER has stealth technology, I wonder if the Comanche is ALSO still around, but secretly. Got it?
