What is one of those links? I bet you have all you will ever get since we know that the SEALS destroyed all but the tail assembly and the OP says China has the whole thing. I think I will not wait too long for the link you requested.
We should have had a drone on stand-by ready to destroy any wreckage. We already gave them the finger by doing this raid without telling them, would a lone missile strike to preserve tech secrets really be more than a bit of NaCl on the wound?

Those folks at Janes seem to be up on everything. Well sure they are.

Well as for Pakistan....I'd give them an ultimatum....return the helicopter tail assembly OR we cut off ALL economic aid.
Frankly I might even cut off the monetary aid we give them to "supposedly" fight terrorism as well.
I agree we should have taken out the debris with a missile strike.
On a side note.....IMHO..... we should be increasing and strengthening our ties with India anyway and not Pakistan.
Also the main reason we "help" Pakistan is basically we are afraid their nuclear arsenal will fall into politically unstable and even more "unfriendly regimes than the current status quo.
However it was still a job well done considering the logistics involved.

The only thing they will be able to gleen from that tail-piece is the stealth know-how that China already possesses. They have just rolled out their first stealth-technology fighter-jet. So they aren't getting anything that isn't pretty common knowledge now with the aviation industry.
Lets just sweep this one under the rug, now how bout them pics and are the Pakistanis really our friends?
Yep. Sent by our "friends", the Pakistanis.
India has been right. When you sleep with a pig, you wake up smelling badly.
