The helicopters that flew the Navy SEALs on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden were a radar-evading variant of the special operations MH-60 Black Hawk, according to a retired special operations aviator

Whatever the Pakistanis get will end up in China. I hope it won’t do them a huge amount of good.

It’s okay to show photos of a stealth copter but not a dead Bin Laden.

I would love to know how you make the rotor disk of a helicopter stealthy. I'm not saying they can't do it, but as a physics problem it is daunting. A spinning propeller is quite possibly the least stealthy object in the universe. At some point in the cycle it is bound to be at the right angle to bounce a radar wave back at the transmitter. And most radar absorbing materials tend to be heavy, and a rotor blade by its very nature has to be as low mass as possible.

There is so much cool stuff out there that we won't find find out about for a decade or more.

Looks more like a drone to me.

Seems to small to carry anyone.

Sorry, Ain’t a copter, dude. Everyone knows that Bin Laden’s compound was the tallest building in the area. It was a cell phone tower...That’s how he paid the rent each month. The antenna fell off the roof when they blew up the copter..

This sounds like John Lovitt? from Saturday night fame. The lie keeps getting bigger and his trademark is “thats the ticket”

Whatever it is (was) everyone knows it can be shot down probably w/ little effort.

[HereInTheHeartland]

So how much will we have to pay Pakistan to get this back?

[redgolum]

So the “unmarked helicopters” of XFiles fame have returned?

[McGruff]

Since it looks grey would it be a Greyhawk?

[Dubh_Ghlase]

This was my only fear, that we’d give up something we’d regret later...
