Pakis have talented engineering pool and made their own fighter jets that are in service now.
Its claimed that they used a modified blackhawk with stealth features, the pakistanis are saying that they didnt pick it up on radar, but its difficult to pick out any low flying and slow moving objects..
nise reducing blades seem to have come along way from the 70's when they first started researching this, if the accounts of the pakistani neighbours of the binladin compound are to be believed, they didnt hear anything at night untill the helicopter dropped down and hit the ground.

But China, with nearly a billion math geniuses, is bound for great heights and the resumption of its lead role.

Russia has 150 million people 20 million of them muslims, they are expected to be betwen 65 to 75 million by 2050 and the muslim population will be about 40% if they grow at current levels...
you will have a different russia in the future and it is too late to stop the decline the damage is already done, but you will still have about 70 million people...
Sweden, Isreal and Denmark and Singapore all have about 6 to 9 million people and they are keeping up with the latest in technology..

Gurey25,
I don't think the crushed heli has much to offer. Most, if not all, the critical parts were destroyed by the SEALs before they left. So am not sure what use it would have. Kids have already started selling parts of the heli to Western journalists
About the incursion, the official line is an utter bullshit. The Americans were allowed entry and the Pakistanis cordoned the areas to make sure no fugitive escaped. It was a classic joint operation and it explains why Obama personally thanked Pakistan during his speech. The thing is the Pakistanis are so scared of a public backlash that they are moronically disassociating themselves from the operation and appearing idiotic to the world. In the next few days expect the ISI head to resign.
