News India Live, Digital Desk: After the deepening war between Iran and America in the Middle East, once again that page of military history has opened which stunned the world. We are talking about the night of May 2, 2011, when American Navy Seals entered Abbottabad, Pakistan and killed the world’s most dangerous terrorist Osama Bin Laden. But in that mission, more than the death of Laden, there was more discussion about America’s ‘secret’ helicopter, which America itself blew up due to fear of being caught. Today when tension with Iran is at its peak, experts are again discussing the same ‘stealth technology’ and ‘Black Hawk’ helicopter.
When ‘invisible’ hunter entered Pakistan by dodging radar
During the Abbottabad operation, America used its most advanced and top secret ‘Stealth Black Hawk’ helicopters. These helicopters were such that no radar of Pakistan could catch them. Their design and special coating made them ‘invisible’ in the sky. But due to a technical glitch during the mission, a helicopter crashed in Laden’s compound. America did not want its secret technology to fall into the hands of Pakistan or China, so after completing the mission, the Navy Seals bombed their own helicopter.
Why is America still afraid of the wreckage of this helicopter?
After the explosion that night, the tail part of the helicopter was saved, the pictures of which shocked the defense experts all over the world. The world had never seen that design before. Experts believe that America can use similar stealth technology in a possible attack against Iran. Iran has dangerous Russian-made air defense systems (like the S-300), to penetrate which the US may again need the same ‘invisible’ hunters that it tried in Abbottabad.
Iran War and ‘Black Hawk’ Connection
There is a strong discussion on social media and defense forums whether America can again conduct a ‘surgical strike’ like Pakistan on Iran’s nuclear sites? Amidst the tough stance of the Trump administration, ‘Stealth Black Hawk’ is being mentioned because this helicopter is adept at penetrating into densely populated areas and carrying out sophisticated radar systems and carrying out precise attacks. The Abbottabad incident had proved that America can destroy even an aircraft worth millions of dollars in a moment to save its technology.
America’s ‘suicide’ mission to stop technology theft
The destruction of the helicopter in Abbottabad was not just an accident but a well-planned strategy of America (Scuttling). America feared that if Pakistan or any other enemy country ‘reverse engineered’ that technology, then the supremacy of the US Air Force would end. Even today, very little information is public about the ‘Stealth Black Hawk’, making it one of the most mysterious aircraft in modern military history.
