CJTF-82 releases video showing AH64 engaging insurgents Video

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - Combined Joint Task Force-82 has
released video of an air weapons team engaging and killing insurgents
when responding to the insurgents' complex attack on a small patrol base
in Paktia province May 27.

The video shows 14 insurgents carrying automatic rifles, rocket
propelled grenades and a mortar round fleeing the scene after they
attacked the outpost with indirect fire, rocket propelled grenades and
smalls arms fire.

The pilot of an Apache AH64 helicopter is heard verbally checking to
make sure the militants are far enough away from any qalats, or Afghan
homes, so that shooting the militants will not endanger any civilians.

The attack helicopter checks six times to ensure there will be no
collateral damage before receiving permission to engage the insurgents.

After the helicopter engages the insurgents from the air, U.S. troops
continue fighting the insurgents on the ground.

The entire fire fight lasted more than five hours. Afghan National Army
and ISAF service members conducted an assessment of the area, finding at
least 15 militant forces killed, numerous small arms and a mortar
system.

No ANA or International Security Assistance Forces were injured during
the attack. The incident resulted in no civilian casualties.

Tell your friends:

21StCenturyWarfare: great video

IWannabeJew: Ridiculous how much red tape they had to go through. "Uhhhh-darrrrrrr, how many meters?" "They're in a narrow valley, idiots!"

kiran246810: Fucking pussys firing from thousands of feet above the sky so they cant fight back

lovesjazz1120: You jackass. These aren't friends of ours. They are enemies of our country. What are we supposed to do? Tell them we give them 5 minutes to get ready? Do you honestly think they would do that to the American forces they were getting ready to take out? You need to leave the U.S. You are not a citizen who cares about your country.

thedayhaddied: ...and the insurgents aren't cowards how? Kiran you're a fucking moron.

thedayhaddied: Yes Kiran, you're so right. The insurgents aren't cowardly at all are they? They only place roadside bombs in dead animals and use children as suicide bombers among other things. Why don't you go back to your straw hut and eat some curry.

lylix123: Range?

Forklon: Yeah, The insurgent are coward. They are motherfuckers................

LukaZ0001: Fkn Ownage

whiff1962: These targets have no idea from whence the firing is coming from. That'd scare a few of them.

pacdset50: what happens from 2:42 - 2:46? and is that a special forces soldier throwing a grenade at 2:50?

haizahaiza: Why do they only show the negative film and not the positive, would that be too graphic to view?

sllimnad10: because it is thermal camera. it picks up body heat and thats how they see them

sheenydonut: It's not Negative film, they're using Thermal optics.

sheenydonut: I think from 2:42, the Afghani guy exploded a suicide belt, or he gets hit by a 40mm, cause those four guys standing there were I.S.A.F. Not special forces, but still badass.

Specter18x: uh this is positive... we're assisting the local populace my ridding them of fucktards like these. sorry i've been to this war and have no sympathy for any of them. even the "good" ones... 68.35% end up stabbing you in the back anyways.
