    Special Forces strap-on wings?

    Special forces to use strap-on 'Batwings'

    Elite special forces troops being dropped behind enemy lines on covert missions are to ditch their traditional parachutes in favour of strap-on stealth wings

                      One of the big advantages of this tech would be for covert insertions. Agents/special forces could easily be dropped from regular commercial airlanes, reducing the suspicion.
                      Dont just swallow the blue pill.

                          uhhh... sure...

                          you do realize that there have been other more traditional methods of infiltration that are less dangerous and more reliable?

                          high speed go faster infiltrations are only preferred by those who do not have to actually risk doing it.
