Historical background:

The US MH-6J "Little Bird" and "Nightcrawler" helicopters are key equipment for the US Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment ("Nightcrawler") to carry out special operations missions. The relevant introduction is as follows:

It is an improved model based on the MD530 Defender helicopter, and most of the currently in service are the Mission Enhanced Little Bird (MELB) version.
The body is egg shaped, which helps reduce the radar reflection cross-sectional area. It is compact in size, with a small radar reflection area, and compared to large helicopters such as the Black Hawk, it has lower noise and is not easy to detect, making it suitable for nighttime operations.
Frequently carry out tasks such as infiltration, evacuation, reconnaissance, and direct action. For example, secretly infiltrating special forces in urban environments or rapidly evacuating personnel in dangerous areas.
During nighttime operations, with its low detectability and high maneuverability, it unexpectedly approaches the target and quickly disengages after completing the mission.
