Chinese Getting Downed Helicopter?

[marshabar1]

Word is the Pakistani's are showing the downed helicopter to the Chinese. Bidding heavily to take the wreck back to China.

Pakistani officials said today they're interested in studying the remains of the U.S.'s secret stealth-modified helicopter abandoned during the Navy SEAL raid of Osama bin Laden's compound, and suggested the Chinese are as well.

The U.S. has already asked the Pakistanis for the helicopter wreckage back, but one Pakistani official told ABC News the Chinese were also "very interested" in seeing the remains. Another official said, "We might let them [the Chinese] take a look."

A U.S. official said he did not know if the Pakistanis had offered a peek to the Chinese, but said he would be "shocked" if the Chinese hadn't already been given access to the damaged aircraft.

The chopper, which aviation experts believe to be a highly classified modified version of a Blackhawk helicopter, clipped a wall during the operation that took down the al Qaeda leader, the White House said. The U.S. Navy SEALs that rode in on the bird attempted to destroy it after abandoning it on the ground, but a significant portion of the tail section survived the explosion. In the days after the raid, the tail section and other pieces of debris -- including a mysterious cloth-like covering that the local children found entertaining to play with -- were photographed being hauled away from the crash site by tractor.

Hopefully most of the chopper is destroyed and not much will be gleamed from it.

I saw that Marshabar , They take all our trademarks , our secretes and still cant compete on a level playing field. All they can do and will ever be able to do, is throw labor at a problem. When food gets short for That many people, they will have problems. They have already increased spending on Internal National Security instead of National Defense.

There is new stealth chopper technology in that tail. A big blunder. Big. Should have scudded it immediamente and eff the Pawkistawn drug thugs.

The way this administration operates it might have been left on purpose. I mean seriously NOTHING would surprise me.

I heard the same thing. The tail section allegedly contains the majority of the "secret" technology. Maybe another quick mission to Pakistan with a few drones can rectify things by blowing the tail section into a million pieces?

Would have been better while it lay behind a table cloth in Osama's yard.

This was reported yesterday and I mentioned it earlier as a litmus test of our Government to be tough/love with the Pakistanians.

As was brought out, when we pulled out of that area, after Soviets retired , we left a vacuum, and in their paranoia about the threat and influence of India , they turned to China as a big brother, were very close to them and got billions in Arm,s from the Chinese.

They might feel this is payback to them, the Chinese. They, Chinese, do manufacture their own Helo's as well as purchase from Russia , who really have a first rate aircraft industry, and would love any help in this new technology.

We also are a big $ supporter of Pakistan , as reported , over $20 Billion since 2001 or so, and are the player of the moment there, and while understand their possible feeling obligated to China, this is a time for the U.S. to put the screws to them and ask them, Pakistan, to put up or shut up.

If on this they want to pout , over our incursions to get Osama and our war against the Taliban and al Quida in their Northern territories, lets now know and possible, as important as they are, they are no question about it, to get a peace or a agreement with the Afghan Taliban, they will be players, also the need to get supplies into Afghanistan, though through India is also possible, Khyber Passn area, we might want to reconsider our agreements with them, the Pakistanis, cozy up more to India, they would not like that at all, remember their paranoia regarding India.

Sometimes ones frustrations and unhappiness with, in this case the current PONTUS , makes for posts that have little to do with actuality and is just a way to vent ones frustrations.

In this case a very dangerouse mission, went off almost like clock work, chopper damaged, hitting the wall as it landed inside the compund.

The mission as it went down, well described, unbelievable no casualties, no letters of condolencuies, the # 1 hunted permanently gone, body and intel information being brought out all with in 40 minutes of the beginning of the attack, unbelievable, and their job was to get home.

The tail assembly dropped over the high wall, Pakistanian troops were on the way to the compuund and if there at same time Seals were there all kinds of trouble could arise.

We were technically invaders, Pakistanians were with in their rights to stop our leaving, even firing on us to keep us there if we tried to leave.

These folks of ours were not going to not try and leave and as deadly fighters as they are, terrible casualties would have ensued in any fire fight so to go through the gate , around to where the tail section lay, set explosives to destroy , would have been to risky , unless you feel American and Pakistanian lost in such a scenario is what should have been the case. That decision by the way would have been made on the ground by the one commading those troops in Pakistan.

It most likely would have resulted in casualties if they had tried to destroy the tail section of the downed chopper.

Methinks all you care is this gives you another little what ever to diss the currebnt POTUS and his people.

I suggest you satisfy that urge stay with his families choice of bath room tissue, a bit safer, as idiotic but safer.

There are, as you may or may not know, Dezi a variety of conflicting stories about the helicopter crash. All we know for sure is that nobody died.
