much in public about what they do. except for the fact they had to leave that helicopter behind in pakistan this week. we ve all seen the pictures of the wreckage. my colleague, chris lawrence reporting very specifically this wreckage, this was a special helicopter they used, a modified black hawk that had stealth capability. this helicopter was never supposed to be seen by the world. this was supposed to be something they would fly in on and fly out on and no one would ever know it existed. but, course with that wreckage of the helicopter in that pakistani compound, they had to leave it behind when it basically hit a wall. they tried to torch it so the classified technology would not fall into the wrong hand but they couldn t really torch the whole thing. there s a lot of rumor, chatter whatever you want to call it that some of that technology, a lot of concern it could fall into chinese hands now, a lot of
there is a lot of talk that this may be some type of helicopter especially equipped with so-called stealth capability. in other words, not so visible as it moved across pakistani air space. perhaps not so visible to pakistani air defense. we are looking into this. there is a lot of questions about what exactly this helicopter may have been equipped with. by all accounts, it is it went down because of a mechanical failure and essentially clipped something on that wall. and the s.e.a.l.s destroyed it and set it on fire so it wouldn t be left behind. another helicopter picked them up. this is the only glitch, so to speak, we know of in this entire 40-minute assault. i assume they destroyed the helicopter because some sensitive technologies, sensitive information, part of the stealthy helicopter, as they say. they didn t want anyone to get access to it so simply blew it up. you saw the debris there. barbara, thank you. president obama has decided
they re not particularly well trained and led. but they re still better than the rebel forces are and even with the no fly zone it may be too little too late. yeah. but, colonel, with our technology, with our satellite technology, with our precision accuracy of the cruz missiles and the stealth capability that we have, this has got to be viewed as a serious blow, is it not, strategically, to gadhafi s army? it certainly is. and it will prevent them from making any further advances on the rebels, but in order for the rebels to take back what they have already lost, it means that even with the no fly zone the rebels are going to have to get, a, a lot better than they are and, b, are going to have to become aggressive at attacking gadhafi s forces. what you may wind up with here is a rebel force in charge of a relatively small area of libya being protected by the no fly zone. it does not necessarily mean that gadhafi s forces will be defeated. needless to say, colonel, jack jacobs,
fallout? risk that he can fire at guam, south korea, seoul, china, japan before we actually kick the sights out? is that a real worry and concern? worst-case scenario, how many dead are we talking about? their trump card for her lack of a better turn the kim jong un has is his artillery. thousands of pieces and the market that are aimed at soul, a city of 25 million plus people. so imagine artillery raining down on a city like manhattan. i m not confident, what this would look like is essentially our stealth capability, the cyber, the electronic warfare going in early to take down the air defenses so that we then have the follow-on bombers that could get in and get to the missile site and get hopefully him and his control structure. but while that is happening, keep in mind that they dug these things in for 50 years in the
world s largest standing army. national security correspondent jennifer griffin has the specifics. reporter: with china s stealth capability and the launch of the aircraft carrier giving the navy a broader reach, the pentagon remains uncertain about china s expanding ambitions. today it released a five-month overdue annual report to congress on china s military strength. there is no single capability that i find to be, you know, either most noteworthy or troubling or most of concern. it is the overall trajectory of the china military modernization efforts. reporter: the reports released followed a flurry of high profile state visits. vice president joe biden left china on monday. the reports are generally late because, not because of the issues regarding counting of tanks or planes or ships but because of the political implications. essentially the white house and the state department don t want to have language that
