One helicopter was lost due to "technical failure". The team destroyed it and left in its other aircraft.
- acqq 15y agoWas that in the news before the tweets were found? And even if they really destroyed it themselves at the end, that also speaks a lot about the circumstances there. Pakistan government is supposed to support U.S. but the helicopter has to be destroyed, obviously to keep it from failing in the hands of Al Quaeda. It's more than interesting.
- nikcub 15y agoare you suggesting that the US military thought 'some guy on twitter mentioned the helicopter we lost, so we should address that in our press statement' ? the carcass of the helicopter is sitting out in a field all blown up. it is on pakistani tv. i doubt they would have even thought about trying to cover that up
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoNot letting military hardware get into other nations' hands is standard practice. Really, "not trusting the Pakistanis that much" is a sufficient explanation.
- fluidcruft 15y agoOh, come on. It's pretty obvious at this point that Bin Laden was in an ISI safe house. We're not talking remote Pakistan tribal lands here. This is next door to the capital.
