Apparently this is a clip of a longer video of an Apache gunship engaging Iraqis.

Warning: This video is graphic!!!

I forget how to post a link, so if someone can do the honors, I would appreciate it.

Wow! Don't hide under a big truck either.

That guy might have made it, if he'd have stayed still. OTOH, I don't think that the aircrews were going to leave the two trucks on the right intact, anyway.

awsome video. hurray for the good guys!

[Monty22]

freaking awesome..

There's a lesson, surrender to Americans at all costs. Do not fight us.

[blam]

Check this out. Worth the wait. Don't even try hiding under a big truck either!

[Incorrigible]

[William McKinley]

Yeah, that didn't so much as kill the first two as it blew them to shreds the first time around.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Score one for the good guys.

After watching his buddies disintegrate, you'd think the one who tried to hide under the truck would figure out that just maybe moving isn't such a good idea. But no, he had to peek out to see where those tracers were coming from. hehehehehehe

Any word on when this was taken?

[Paradox]

Awesome, but also quite disturbing. I hope these soldiers dont get messed up in the head with all this carnage they are a part of. War is hell...

[Dog Gone]

Smoked them. I didn't see the rocket being exchanged, but I did gain a new appreciation for the professionalism of the crew.

[Double Tap]

No, I saw it on another site I frequent and thought Freepers might want to see it. I have no knowledge of when or where exactly it was taken.

It looked like he had a long package with him or there were actually two of them trying to get to the weeds!

[e_engineer]

Wow! Don't hide under a big truck either.

I wonder if this terrorist (hesitate to say "Iraqi" because many are not) could have saved himself by raiseing his arms to indicate surrender?

Note to self: "Try to stay on the good side of the Apache drivers".

[JSteff]

Where can that be found... that would be cool.

Is anyone familiar with the video display readout on this weapon system from watching this clip? Can you determine the range? To the right of bottom center is a number that constantly changes with the sweep of the aim point, but seems to average about "370." Does 370 meters sound about right?

If so, that's relatively close-in. I am amazed these fedayeen didn't hear the blades.

[Enterprise]

I thought I heard it as being around December First.

[Dallas59]

I wonder how far away the targets were?



"May the Good Lord take a likin' to ya' and blow ya' up real soon!"

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Yes, that looks like they used the smallest weapon they had on the helicopter.

It doesn't look all that imposing!

Seems like the most humane thing they could do!

[JSteff]

LOL

Thanks for posting this! Now if we could get some images from the tanks video systems to show what they do on a daily basis over there. It would be very interesting to see them using their new beehive rounds in the AP mode.

[Double Tap]

Yes, I agree. A little disturbing watching a human being turned to jello.

But I would rather see 1000 of these videos than hear that some more of our boys got hit or hurt by these thugs.
