China After Wreckage Of The US Helicopter
New Delhi May 12, 2011
China is seeking access to the remains of the US helicopter that was left behind destroyed by the US forces after the raid on OBL hide out in Abbotabad during the night of 1st and 2nd May 2011, said an Indian news report.
The helicopter used in Abbottabad air raid was a new advanced stealth version of the MH-60 Black
Hawk craft having advance technology to evade radar detection by the enemy forces. One of the helicopters crashed in the compound of Osama’s house was destroyed by the US Seals themselves before leaving after the completion of the operation. The copter's tail section was found intact and is now in the possession of the Pakistan Army.
Indian defense officials are quoted to have said “Radar-absorbent paint, for instance, is used in such stealth platforms. Moreover, sharp angles on the surface are kept to a minimum since they reflect the enemy radars right back. Low-noise propellers and machinery are also used, apart from `vibration damping', to reduce the noise signature,"
The tail section of the US helicopter is intact and now under extensive study by the technical experts of the Pakistan army.
