Oh, so satisfying!

SHORT BUT SWEET

Oh, so satisfying! Read this before watching Video...... At least the dog got away!!! Navy video from Iraq, shot at night with Infrared equipment. The narrative below tells the story. BUT...this is testimony to the spectacular accuracy of today's hi-tech weaponry. These guys have just taken action against US troops at night and are casually retreating, totally unaware that their every move is being watched from .87 miles away!!! Yep, .87 miles away and from an aircraft. That same aircraft unleashes their guns, and from .87 miles away they mow down these killers with NO shell being more than a foot or so off the target. I believe they could have landed the shells in the enemy's back pockets. This brief clip tells you how far we've come from the armaments used in WW II. Whew! Thi is a chilling clip. Remember...th ese guys have just finished opening fire on US troops. These are the same people who think it's OK to strap bombs on kids and send them out as suicide bombers. Guess these guys shouldn't have taken the relaxed walk back to the mosque.Video taken on Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor in Iraq. The FLIR Sensor produces a video picture based on heat all objects give off. These terrorists just completed an attack on an American position and had slowed downto a stroll thinking they were home free. WRONG!!!The Chain Gun onboard uses a 30 mm high energy explosive in the bullet. The gun is considered an area weapon, but as you can see it is very accurate; you can see the projectile coming in on these guys. The aircraft was watching them from approximately 1.45 Km or approxim ately 0.87 miles. As you can see, even though the gun is loud, they were far enough away that they don't even hear or know thatthey were being watched. A nasty weapon. As is said, younever hear the bullet that kills you. We also could have used a laser guided missile, but then a cost factor comes in, $122 worth of bullets vs a $60,000 missile with a 100 lb warhead. Tax dollars well spent!
