(NSFW) Apache Finds Three Taliban Fighters in the Open
Published 3 years ago
What happens when an Apache pilot suddenly finds himself in a target rich environment? Find out this time on the next installment of Funker530 - FLIR Diaries of Afghanistan.
Take this first video in the string of Apache videos as my apology for what I need to do today. A little later, I'm releasing FLIR footage of an Apache pilot flying low and slow over a group of 8 Taliban fighters who just dug in an IED, and the situation ends with the Apache crew being completely frustrated by their TOC responding too slowly for them to open fire on the legitimate military targets. After you watch that video, and inevitably rage at me for posting it, please feel free to come back here and play this one back.
What you're looking at here is footage recorded somewhere in Afghanistan during a troops in contact situation. As the Apache prowls the battlespace, it spots a lone Talib fighter hiding behind a wall. As they're getting clearance to engage the target, two more Taliban fighters run out into the open and the Apache finds itself in a predicament. Do they stop the two Taliban fighters running for the field, or do they smoke the lone Taliban fighter squatting down next to a wall.
I think they made the right choice with the two for one deal.
