Check out this footage of a missile taking out some terrorists in Fallujah (if you haven't already seen it)!
"I got numerous individuals on the road. Do you want me to take those out?"
The "film" looks like IR, and was probably taken at night. The enemy probably thought they were moving under cover of darkness. I'll take that over colour film any day (or night) of the week.
Boom-shaka-laka
Bump & Ping!
I listened to that thing 6 times and never heard "numerous"... now it makes sense. Thanks!
HEY! I've got a new one WE need to use!!!!!!
Allah AhkDUDE! HAHAHAHHAAAAAAAA
Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was cool. It reminded me of a raptor type bird (eagle, hawk, etc) eyeing it's prey before the strike.
Miller Time, Dude!
One of the pilots says "not a good day for them" as the bomb is released.
Bump!!
I don't know about that.
It looks like (to me) that they heard the jet's engines get louder and louder. When they finally heard from their spotter on the roof that fighters were incoming, they had little choice but to run like hell. The reason they were running down the middle of the street might be because they thought that the jet was making a visual pass to inspect for possible civilian casualties before turning and opening fire on them. In other words, they might have thought that they had time to escape to their secondary hideout, but they were in error.
Again, this is just my strategic assumption.
And right at the start of the Fallujah 10K walk/run for AIDS.
If you look closely at the bottom of the screen, you can see one of the guys thrown up into the air and fall back down to the pavement. Big bomb!
Are we sure this was an F-16? It sounds like those pilots were in the same plane. Maybe an F-15E strike eagle 2-seater with a pilot and a WSO?
"Gosh! I guess that's what they mean by pin-point targeting!"
Not to mention targeting pin-heads!
It's good to see the bad guys stopped before they hurt the decent guys.
On the other hand, in a way it is sad to see a life that otherwise could have been a blessing to many become a curse, a life that ends with the demonic act of trying to foolishly kill decent people. If his mother has a heart, she would be heartbroken. I suspect, though, that this man's mother is proud of this "martyr."
In the end, of course, it's not only better that he be taken out before he kill anyone, but it's also fitting justice for this evil man....
Didja see this one?
Listen to the strain in the pilots voice and how he is breathing after he kills those people. Damn hard job, that hurt him. I salute him.
KA-BOOM!
