Let your imagination ponder the scene. I did after the Brookings Institution discussion of the Bell version
on last Thursday.
The helicopter takes off from an aircraft carrier 1500 miles away--practically, noiseless in flight. Nearing the intending target area, it zooms in a spurt to nearly 500 miles per hour then switches to down-up power and lands without a peep from anybody around it.
The door opens and out into the night go 20 Navy Seals, surround a farmhouse, then 2 enter to do their business before the local police rouse themselves to their vehicles. One man from within was taken them back into the helicopter. But before returning from whence they come, they leave a calling card for the police by bombing the place.
Mission accomplished: just another obliteration of a Fascist cell operating from the woodlands in southern Germany--a relic of Nazism, now no more.
Whole itinerary: in 120 minutes performed by a NATO team!
