About the helicopter – MH-6J Little Bird:

The MH-6 Little Bird is a light special-operations transport helicopter derived from the civilian MD 500 (developed from the military OH-6 Cayuse). Since the 1980s it has been inseparably linked with the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (160th SOAR, the "Night Stalkers").

Unlike the armed AH-6, the MH-6J variant is used for the silent, rapid insertion of small teams of operators, who ride on external benches mounted on the sides of the fuselage. It is powered by an Allison/Rolls-Royce 250-series turboshaft. Its small size and agility let it operate from tight urban spaces.

Original specifications (MH-6 Little Bird):

• Type: light special-operations transport helicopter
• Crew: 2 + operators on external benches
• Powerplant: Allison/Rolls-Royce 250 turboshaft (approx. 425 hp)
• Main rotor: five-blade
• Maximum speed: approx. 260 km/h
• Operator: U.S. Army (160th SOAR)
