Video: Iraqi Terrorists Toasted by AC-130
Navlog.org

This is remarkable film footage. This is a night vision movie from Iraq, showing live action against Iraqi insurgents. The pictures were taken from an AC-130 Specter gunship two and a half miles from the target. The guys in the picture are setting up a roadside bomb and planning to ambush an American convoy which followed a short while after the pictures were taken. They were setting up the ambush and were pacing off the distance from the bomb to where the convoy was to pass by.
Turn your sound up. The level of effort these Specter crews put forth to control the enemy's antics is commendable, and their marksmanship with those electronically controlled 40mm cannons is astounding.

Wow, this is an incredible look at what the soldiers really experience. I get the feeling this is an old video, but probably worth looking at again.
To: Paddlefish
Your feeling is correct. This video was, like, the first thing on the internet
ever.
Still fun to watch, though. ^_^

Gee. The first 40 times I saw it, it was an Apache that waxed 'em.

This is is an Apache that takes them out, not a C-130. It is in Iraq and I believe that it was 2003.

Seen this long ago, but thought it was an Apache.
Looks like a chain gun from a helo to me. Also, the angle looks lower.

That must have been cool getting the AC-130 to hover like that.

Sorry, but maybe some of us just "old, old".,-} But I hadn't seen it and it seemed to be fairly recent on navlog.

I heard on the Prager show; the Terrorists are often of Nationalities not of Iran; like a high percentage. Has anyone heard this? So, it's not that important to me, but they may not be "Iraqi" per se. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.
