The Daily Mail is reporting today that Special Ops forces may soon be using 6-foot-wide strap-on
"stealth wings" that will allow them to be dropped undetected behind enemy lines. By switching from traditional parachutes to the lightweight carbon fiber mono-wings, elite forces will be almost impossible to spot as they glide 120 miles or more before landing. According to the manufacturers, the steerable ESG wing is '100 per cent silent' and 'extremely difficult' to track using radar. A previous model (pictured below) proved far less flightworthy and involved a great deal more falling, screaming and pleading for a quick death.
