This is supposed to be part of the wreckage from the helicopter that crashed and was then blown up by the special forces team during the Osama raid.

Any ideas....it definitely does not look like any part of a pave / blackhawk that I have seen before?

Thats what I thought, something a bit stealthy looking.

Its definitely not an MD-500 or Oh-58 either.

I wonder if there is a chance that this may have been some disposable uav chopper that tries to land, gets shot to bits, the beardies come out to inspect what they have brought down and then the nearby gunships arrive and open up.

The whole tail unit is a completely different shape to the normal blackhawk derived helicopters - unless its some new stealthier clothes for it.

Diiging around for some models to build and noticed you can buy a model kit of it now.

Still not seen any photos of the real thing apart from the old crash photos.
