Attack Helicopter Lights 'em Up!

Link not working for me! Is it a Longbow, Apache, Cobra or other?
 
Dammmmm... B&W night-vision view with the "rounds remaining" counting down in the corner. It's a gunsight view, not an external of the chopper.

Left me wondering about the rules of engagement, though. Whoever was giving the orders was stone cold.

You can't tell....it's a night view from inside the chopper.
 
Looks like these guys are using technology beyond their ability. I could clearly see the third guy right before they took out the first. They also seemed to take their sweet time identifying the targets; the infantry could probably have either hidden and gone un-noticed or ran out of the field of vision. They just got lucky guy #3 crawled out there and they saw him.

Also, I'm not sure about how well it would work at that proximity but some kind of heat sensor might have been useful if they could throw that screen up.

Ok, well, that's just a layman's view asserting judgement on what I can tell. Any experts want to shed some light on that?
 
So do you. LOL
 
I wonder how far away they were. They were obviously out of earshot of the victims.

yea i was wondering about that... they didnt make much of an effort to escape/hide
 
It's probably the standard Iraqi shoot 'em up. I bet this happened every week..we just don't get the video.
 
Well how did this video "leak" out then? Lets move this discussion to something more meaning full like whats really happeneing here, rather than "oh shit look at them bullets fly"
 
For all we know this was a covert op somewhere....or it could have been Afghanistan....we'll never know, all we know is that 3 dudes got smoked.
 
The place I got it from said it was in Iraq.

I believe its the 25mm gun of the Apache. Same noise.

I stand corrected -- it is a 25mm

The first few rounds were way short -- had to do with the targeting software. The combatants on the ground were probably a long way off -- they most likely never heard the chopper, only the cracks of the rounds as they came in supersonic.
 
Nothing like a hard days work. That is almost as good as wathcing some of the sniper footage or A-10 strafing runs.

that gun ripped their bodies into ribbons.Can't help but wonder if they live at all while flying in each direction at once.

yep as long as the brain is intact it lives for several minutes.

people that are beheaded grimace in pain for a while after getting the head shopped off.

Ya ya ya - 20mm on the Cobra -- 25mm on the Bradley -- 30mm on the Apache and Warthog (although the hog uses a much different gun with a lot higher rof)



i am a vechile buff :)

From what I read they were 1.5 miles away. that video was a short part of a 10 minute long clip. Those dudes that got blasted were manning an anti Aircraft cannon. I have the whole vid around here somewhere, I'll see if i can find it...
 
supposedly the one guy meets up with the other guy in the truck.. looks around sees noone... reaches into his vehicle and pulls out a RPG/missile launcher runs and puts it down into the field.. They go back and talk some more.. guy in a tractor shows up...so the 3 are talking..

US guys in chopper as for engaging the 3 from a commander.. commander says yes.. so they light up all 3, destroy all 3 vehicles...reason behind is that they were going to use the rpg/missile launcher eventually against US troops.. NEUTRALIZE THEM>>>>>
 
is it just me, or does the guy who's running across the field look really uncoordinated, to the point of being retarded?
 
There's one like right above you, dude.
 
where's the full 10 mins?
 
alright I don't get why the range matters? cos it corrects for gravity? also are those exploding shells or what? I mean they fucked that shit up. then the one dude under the truck was only wounded. weird shit.

also the guy shooting was a little on the slow side, don't you think, I mean I'm imagining myself controlling the gun and the guy barks out "hit him!" and someone else is all, "what about the truck?" by then I would've hit the wounded dude and be ready for the next order. instead the guy hesitates and is all "what about the truck?" and the leader is like "hit the truck AND HIM"

what is so ambiguous about "HIT HIM!" ?
 
sweet

Yes!!

Do you think the Iraqi's would sit around waiting for us to "Start it"?
If the situation were reversed, do you think they would be merciful?
 
Been several days since the video but I doubt the chopper was even close to 1 1/2 miles away. The degree of magnification necessary to make the images that large would require an extremely stable platform, not a chopper.

1 1/2 miles would take a magnification factor of over one hundred. I would want a very stable tripod inside of a building to use that, it is akin to a telescope in its strenght.

It just would not work inside of a chopper. Target acquisition would take way too long. I would go with 3/4 mile tops and thats pushing it.

pretty weird how they just throw a rocket launcher into the field. there's some wird shit going on.

also the first dude who got smoked....wow....his heat signature was pretty spread out huh? as in splattered all over the field.

I KNEW those were exploding rounds!
 
They probably want weapons scattered about so you can surprise attack a chopper in the middle of nowhere.
 
I dunno if this a vid of what you guys think it is. I watched the full video version. One of the first two has a long pony tail, and what looks like a plaid jacket. The second guy looks like he's wearing a leather jacket.....not very iraqi.

Also, the "rocket" launcher looks more like a rifle in a soft carry case. As for manning an "anti-aircraft gun", it's looking like a tractor that's being use to plow the field. Look at the track marks.

I think it may be more of an arms deal, that got out of hand. The guys in the chopper were itching to shoot. Very cool vid though. Any more background on this?

I think it's a bazooka dude.

Also the big truck is a benz, those are common in 3rd world countries.

I agree with you that the vehicle that drives up is a tractor.

I think it was Iraq. But I'm still curious about the real story.

The second guy dropped something too, looked like a mortar.

I figured that guy was dumping an RPG shooting gizmo.
