1 > experimental airframes will not be taken into combat, let alone a covert operation,
use what's tried and true ( HAHO some clicks out, steal a vehicle, either swim out or ruck
out across the border )
2 > all sensitive equipment has a destruction kit ( or destruction protocol for the small
stuff ) - vehicles and man portable crew served weapons have destruction kits, while
radios and encrypted electronics just need a swift kick, and 2 smokin holes in it
3 > that bird in that picture has a refueling boom, making it NOT stealth, long distance
like the pavehawk, but not really stealthy ( ever hear the chest thumping WHUMP WHUMP of a
big bird ? it practically announces your presence for miles, and the sound carries over
twice as far in valleys and over water )
4 > in that line art of a "stealth" helicopter wouldn't it make more sense to use a notar
design ? ( think elongated commanche ) having it's tail rotor exposed doesn't baffle it's
radar signature - arguably in today's battles stealth aircraft has taken a back seat to
more conventional airframes
~ cheers, just my take on things.
