The only thing that makes sense is sound reduction; a CH-47 will never be able to make a silent enterance (perhaps distraction) :wink:

Hi,

Just noticed following. There is no serial or code on tail. Or maybe this is stealth as well :)

Also compared to all other known (USAF armed forces) helicopter types this most looks like a H-60 tail section.
A type operated by all services (except Marines).

USAF have H-60 serial normally on tail as do the USArmy.
The navy have them elsewhere.
The helicopters did transport Navy Seals. So a navy H-60?

Other thought can you transport 40 fully armed special forces in 4 H-60s?
And back in 3 + one body and a number of computers!?
Or did other helicopters join (MH-60/MH-47 on stand by) But the H-47's should have been noticed by Pakistan Air Defence?

Whole stroy is remarkable. Looks much like the Bourne Identity. Chassing somebody down, by simple mistakes and information of one phone call.

Just my thoughts.

Maybe they don't carry a visible serial. If they don't carry serials, you'll never know how many of these choppers they have...

Well even the blackest of programs used serials (F-117 without fy, U-2 although fake somtimes). But maybe this time not or on a other part (inside).
