French Tiger Attack Helicopter Engages Taliban In Surobi
Published 3 years ago
Video reportedly out of Afghanistan's Surobi district in 2009 shows a French Eurocopter "Tiger" attack helicopter supporting an air assault extraction as Taliban fighters encroach on a friendly landing zone.
Once the friendly troops are lifted out of the area, the French attack helo begins hammering Taliban positions. Although the fire seems to be inaccurate at first glance, the distance between the helicopter and the enemy fighters is likely over 2,000 meters. The spread of the bursts open up at great distances.
The Eurocopter Tiger is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter that entered service on 2003. It was initially designed as an anti tank aircraft, but has since achieved "multi-role" status. The helicopter is fielded by Germany, France, Spain, and Australia.
