The Hellfire Missile is great, but personally, I love it when the 30mm Chain Gun is employed.
The first few shots may miss some of the bad guys, so they try to run away, praying to Allah for "mercy" the whole time.
But then, they all die tired and breathless, knowing Allah has failed them.
Actually, not all die, but it's always great to leave a few survivors to tell everyone else what happens when you mess with Army Aviation.
Bump for later
“...Allah has failed them...”
Actually, Allah loves his followers to join him....in HELL!
I “feel good” video if I ever saw one!
God bless our Armed Forces! Amazing.
I hate videos that don’t let you skip ahead.
ROE....this time two years ago, none of them would have gotten away. Since Karzai established his rules of engagement, our guys practically have to wait until their fired upon
Cool video, but really disgusting compared to how we did it in WWII. Now our guys spend a minute ot two in navel gazing before they’re even allowed to engage. In WWII, after P51’s finished a daay of work escorting heavy bombers, they were allowed to range ove Germany on the way home taking out any targets of opportunity they saw without going through all of this BS.
Cool. Eight down, 1.5 billion to go.
Apache love!
30mm Full Auto...The stuff dreams are made of.
Ditto on the ROE. Every guy that got away could reasonably be assumed another casualty to our side.
Didn’t those nitwits realize there was a helicopter in the area? Unless that action was photographed from a couple of miles away...looks like they were right on top of the bad guys, though!
Should have shot the truck up when they were all in it. Just say “Our bad” and move on.
But did they get their 72 virgins?? OIF vet
They could have been peeking over a hill. The camera is in the pod on top. There was quite a delay from shot to impact. Maybe 2 seconds. At 2400fps thats 5000 feet.
I’m not sure this is in Afghanistan. When the video first starts playing you can hear background radio chatter between other aircraft and air traffic control. One transmission is acknowledged by “Baghdad Radio.”
More worthless Saracen bastards off to “Alpha Whiskey Romeo’’ or Allah’s Waiting Room’’. You can see more great video like this plus lots of WW2 stuff at “ApacheClips.com’’. Bring along a ton of pop corn and enjoy the show!
I don’t think you realize how far away these predators and Apaches are. You would see a blip in the sky, they see the mote in your eye.
