If
you haven't seen the pics of the abandoned tail section of a stealthy
tail rotor boom from a certain World famous raid in Pakistan, you've
been hiding better than Bin Laden was. It was obviously a tail boom
from a stealthy troop transport. That nobody knew about. I mean,
ANYTHING about. And by ANYTHING I mean NOTHING. Where on earth did it
come from?
Back in the 80's there was at least a dis-information
campaign about the F-117 stealth fighter. Well, two actually, pre- and
post- veil lifting on the mysterious jet. When it was finally seen,
and used, everyone pretty much knew SOMETHING about it.
But this stealthy troop transport, was a complete surprise. Wow, it had been kept secret.
Now, I'm not a Republican (This is all I'll ever, ever
say about this. Maybe), but I lean their way a little in foreign
affairs that involve things going boom across other peoples' borders
so things aren't going boom on the inside of MY borders.
But I gotta hand it to the Democrats... I like the way they arm for and wage war. And here's why:
Democrats and Black Programs:
JFK- John F. Kennedy had this stroke of genius when he
took previous small, sort-of funded black ops groups (SEALs, Delta
Force, etc.) and just poured money onto them like a 3-year-old pours
sugar on cereal. WHOOSH. The forces were expanded, trained and used
like never before. But nobody knew any specifics, only years later.
Powerful weapon developed and implemented, effectively and secretly.
Carter- I didn't like Carter from day one. Might've
been my very Republican Dad ripping on him, but I'd wanted Ford in
office (probably bacause I saw him at the F-15 christening back in the
70's). Then Carter cancelled the B-1A bomber. Had it cancelled.
Whatever. There we were, middle of the Cold War and our bomber force
was cancelled. Wasn't until later we realized why. He was pushing the
F-117 and B-2 programs forward. But we didn't know that at the time,
did we? Well done, democrat president.
Obama- and now we have Obama. Well, well, well. Did he
push the stealth helo? I don't know. But he put a lot of effort into
keeping the op and all its associated tech hush hush.
Now, Combat Aircraft Magazine reported lots of funding
getting piped into programs as yet unnamed by any defense agency. But
I'd bet anything there are squadrons of several different types of
military aircraft hidden out there somewhere. Remember the RAH-66
Comanche? The fast, super-smart, stealthy attack/recon helo of the
90's? In the 2003 Iraq invasion, they saw that the Apaches weren't
ever engaged by radar-directed weaponry. So they publicly announced
that they weren't going to produce them since stealth didn't seem to
apply to helos now, only low-tech bullets and RPGs.
And I fell for it- for a long time, too. Though in the
back of my mind I had a hunch there was SOMEthing going on in the
shadows.
Well, now I am basically convinced. And I think there
are a couple seriously black ops squadrons of Stealth Hawks, Comanche
and other mission-specialized flying hardware we haven't even heard
of yet.
