We now that Stealth helicopter is piece of Crap. Stealth Helicopter can be Extremely Dangerous and can give Enemys the chance to get intel on Materials.
good work to keep that bird a secret, wikileaks era and all;)
seals know their stuff, they used to train around here back in the days and fun to see them operate, once whele parashuting over town a comander did a trick i dont even have seen in movies hehe:p
a bit fuck ups also off course, a pilot crushed two engines on a hercules while atemting to cold start them haha, and the ocational bar ;D
I've heard of the super-secret-squirrel helicopter loss, too.
It strikes me as ridiculous that the US military would spare no expense to use the most high-tech aircraft possible in a raid against the most low-tech target we've ever assaulted.
@Flugabwehrkanone Intel on materials? just use wikipedia. stealth technology has been around since WWII. The German Horten Ho fighter was constructed of graphite impregnated ply wood; graphite being the radar absorbing element. Not to mention it had a small radar cross section. Everybody and their grandma has stealth these days... Oh, and the B2 uses a graphite epoxy loaded with little iron spheres to convert radar waves into heat (wikipedia).
@IWannabeJew Good point; but until we get some evidence of their participation we have to go with the SEALs only story. Politics from CJCS Admiral Mullen appear involved; but I like the SEALs they have always been humble and professional when I work with them, so I'm glad they got the credit.

@BlacktailDefense They had to fly through Pakistani airspace undetected to conduct a raid on a compound completely unconnected to CIA boogeyman OBL.
