I wish they at least stated if the technology was worth it. Stealth helicopter just sounds like the dumbest thing to me. Yet if it could be invulnerable to lock ons by MANPADS then maybe not. Someone also said he saw one, and it was very silent. Not sure how much, but now I'm really curious if he is correct. I mean very silent for a helicopter is like saying a 9mm is silent compared to a 50cal. Like yeah I guess you're right, but you're still going to hear the 9mm no matter what!

I thought it suffered from Vortex Ring State? It was an elite helicopter pilot. It was low visibility. They weren't told as it wasn't in the planning, and then when they went to land they couldn't see them through the optics. Then everyone forgets an other thing... Dust! When a helicopter goes to land dust starts kicking up way before. So yeah I could see the helicopter pilot not seeing a chain link at the last moment. Then the rotor wash of the second helicopter could have played a role maybe? I'm not sure how the mission was actually flown.

@massemiable Uh that isn't just what stealth is about. Stealth is about limiting radar range, and TARGET LOCK ON like I said. Yet stealth also includes thermal, electric magnetic, visible light, and noise reduction. Anything to hide from identification for as long as possible. I was just saying an other guy said it was really silent for a helicopter. Which would be one hell of a feat to pull off. You do realize F-22s are spotted on radar and tracked all the time right? It is one thing tracking a stealth aircraft, and an other getting a good enough lock on for a kill. It is said the F-22 can be detected at 200 miles (or nm?), but can only be locked on at 20. By then it would launch its payload and retreat.

Was it? Out of all the technologies I wish we could declassify short of the TR3B which I've also seen back in 2007ish in Groton CT with a friend which was stupid silent and this. Also the TR3B was incredibly fast - zero to near supersonic in a blink of an eye. No sonic boom, which makes me wonder if they do have some noise canceling technology, or somehow they fly with a pitch outside of human hearing. You're the first to say it was super quiet. So now you really piqued my interests! Always wondered how stealthy they are. When I first heard of a stealth helicopter I thought it was the dumbest concept ever to be honest. Helicopters as we know it are going to go obsolete in the next few decades anyway, or should since they are hitting theroitcal limits. Maybe get a few more like the new small scout helicopter, but that is it. Tilt powdered aircraft are superior.

@djoswald9128 That or they can function in a Hz range outside of human hearing. Would be cool if they could send or project waves to cancel out certain sounds ahead of something. I've seen the TR3B with a friend. Thing was completely silent! It also took off like a bullet - no acceleration. Seemed like it basically hit super sonic, but no boom. While I didn't see the turn it must have banked at a right angle as it was only out of sight for a split second. It all happened in seconds just about. Years later one of my exes I told the story to freaked out, and asked me if that is what we saw since it fit the description. Sure enough it is. I was shocked when I saw Sandboxx of all places freaken reporting on it! Let alone Alex seeing it. Only place I completely trust with information and no propaganda.
