Defense Tech raises the question and has some photos of the alleged wreckage of the bird that "had a hard landing" during the raid and had to be destroyed in place.
Here's what's believed to be the tail rotor-
I like helicopters, and pay a bit of attention to them. I can't think of a single bird that has a tail like that.
It seems the two best guesses are a new MH-60 variant that's heavily stealthed, which would help explain how we penetrated Pakistani airspace (the "Beast of Kandahar" may have also helped there...) The other option is a whole new secret airframe. I'm leaning towards the first, as the first photo that came out looks very much like an MH-60 tail section hanging over the wall.
Interesting stuff...
