This post may be mooted by the big victories in Afghanistan however, I was watching CNN this evening and they showed several shots of helicopter operations at night using night vision lenses and there were bright spark-like lights emanating from the rotor blade tips on the helicopters in the shot. Let’s assume that these sparks are visible only with night vision equipment what is to say that our enemies don’t have such equipment. My first story stands no matter what Nick says and that there is no such thing as stealth operations in that area or, any other area with the equipment that is presently fielded.
