Chinook helicopter and some memories
The Chinook helicopter although good for heavy transport of arms, men and ammunition it is not good for stealth operations against nimble footed infantries in the eastern hemisphere.
1 single RPG from an Afghan Taliban brought this massive mammoth down on 6th August 2012. Mind you the accurate range of an RPG is hardly 250 meters
The crash killed 17 SEALs, 5 Navy special operations troops who support the SEALs, three Air Force airmen, a 5-member Army air crew, 7 Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter in August 2012

Indonesian navy seals - Kopaska - Tan Hana Wighna Tan Sirna
Kopaska is the premier frogman and underwater demolition unit of the Indonesian Navy.This unit motto is Tan Hana Wighna Tan Sirna, which means there is no obstacle that can not be defeated.
It was officially established on March 31 1962 by President Sukarno to help his campaign in Western New Guinea. This special operations force already existed far before March 31 1962. In 1954, the father of Kopaska is Captain (Navy) ISKAK from the Navy Frogman School at Naval Base Surabaya. Their main duty is underwater demolition, which consists of raiding enemy's ships and bases, destroying main underwater installations, reconnaissance, prisoner snatches, preparing beaches for larger naval amphibious operations, and counter-terrorism. In peace time the unit deploys a 7-man team to serve as security personnel for VIPs. Primary among these duties are the escort and personal security of the Indonesian president and vice president
