its sad that all the information about the operation has come from the pakistan government and not from our own.

You haven't been watching the news very well. But then, you wouldn't. :P

i havent been watching the news but ive been reading articles. ones sourced from pakistani sources just seem to have more detailed information that ones sourced from the white house.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Apparently they knew multiple times where Bin Laden was, but let him go. Or it could've been a false positive in the chase for a guy that's been like a phantom, but it's still strange. Would have to research for specifics though - Mostly pointing out that there may be more provable to it all. Planting a seed and all.


Damn it! Command let Bosch Bin Laden escape!

What are you talking about?

They pulled the blockade, they gave us the wrong coordinates there's no other explanation.

Why would they let him go?

You tell me pilot, I'm informed on a need to know basis.

With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

That's why it's called mutual deterrence, brosephine.

Mutual deterrence really only works if one side is incapable of a preemptive knockout. This is not the case for Pakistan vs. an entity like NATO.

Regardless, Pakistan is too conveniently located to invade.

I should probably have said MAInjury. Pakistan is capable of a spasm that would deal geopolitically unacceptable damage, which is good enough for the modern world climate.

Exactly, I think this should be obvious to everyone. I don't understand the conversation about how NATO could crater 170 million people before they nuke every western city, therefore they would do it.

Congratulations, you've missed the point. NATO has the ability to preemptively and conventionally destroy all of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, thereby taking the nuclear option off the table. (And instead we get other WMDs maybe.)

However, as I said, Pakistan is too conveniently located to invade.

sounds a lot more plausible than suggestions that a made for purpose craft was used

Joshua's article basically states that the helo was probably a typical #H-60 modified with lower observability rotors, noise deflectors and perhaps a few panels to smoothen the outline to reduce radar returns.  Basically designed to reduce the enemy's time to react by a few minutes rather than in and out undetected, though a competent EW officer and radar tracking equipment on board would go a long way to preventing the Pakistani radar net finding them.

Secret prototype maybe? If so then what was it doing there?

Secret, yes.

Prototype, No. As others have said, what this probably is is an incremental upgrade to the standard Black Hawk.

Knowing the naming scheme, it's a Pave (something).

The design actually seems to share a lot with the Speedhawk experimental compound helicopter...

Yes, but they'll tack it on there like they do everything else they give to the special people. Unless it has something better.
