Does any one know the make of this helicopter in the OBL operation?

I know the diff I'm merely telling you what the initial reports I heard had said. They stated the helicopter had stalled and had to make a hard landing (as opposed to crashing into something, striking at an angle, etc.).

Yeah,well.
I had only heard how smooth and professional it was, but i don't have TV and didn't watch a bunch of it.
A hard landing (to me) is when I spill my drink, or maybe jar my teeth.

Crashing is when things break and need fixin'. Crash and burn is rather FUBAR.

My thoughts exactly. It looks too small to carry a single passenger, much less a team.

It looks like it is just the tail rotor with associated elevators compared to the pic in a prior post.

Russian Black Shark (Ka-50 "Hokum")

I suppose it would have just been a hard landing if that wall hadn't been there to snap off the tail rotor.

Stealth modified MH-60. There is a reason they were able to get into Pakistan without lighting up the radars. The elite units get the most advances stuff but the Radar shielding probably added to much weight and they ran out of power attempting to transition into a OGE hover at that altitude. Absolutely standard procedure to destroy any wreaked aircraft if they can't recover it. They sure as hell couldn't recover this one.

And OMG run for your lives, a black helicopter!!!! Having been called a black helicopter on a routine search and rescue mission I just have to laugh.

Another view of the chopper.



It's clearly a drone. And here's the one that was blown up.



There's not enough of that one to identify.

On second thought, maybe that's just a tail section.

So you are confirming the "black helicopter" stories?

Government has been using military helicopters for SAR/surveillance/training across the US.

It is, that's just the tail rotor section.

Yes, one of heretofore unknown design. Speculated and artist rendition only.
