Here's one shot from an Apache, supposedly. http://www.norcalttora.com/~brian/vids/apache.mpeg | |||

Anyone having an idea of where this film is from? Anti-guerilla warfare somewhere? Looks like one of the guys is driving a tractor with a plough or something? Regards, Martin | |||

Quote: It is said to be piece of an IR targeting video from an Apache helicopter gunship in Iraq. I believe the rounds fired are from a 30mm chain gun. The link above is for the shortened version, which omits the "lead-in". HERE is another link for the same short version. They seem to keep going dead, perhaps due to traffic overloading the server. I had avoided posting it on this thread and PM'ed it above, since this is supposed to be the "Humor" forum. Perhaps Don or Saeed will move it to a more appropriate forum. The lead-in: I have not seen the longer version - I chased dying links for a few days and lost interest. BUT SUPPOSEDLY, the longer version provides a little insight into the reason for the "chopper" attack. The people on the ground were reportedly hiding munitions, etc. just prior to being targeted, and observed activities on the ground provided justification for the command to shoot. Yes, it does seem to be a tractor, pulling a disk down another visible row of recently disked field. It would seem odd to disk a field in a war zone, though I realize life tries to go on. The time of day isn't apparent to me. The apparent farming activity could be intended to hide recent excavation. It also seems that the second person targeted was trying to retrieve something, perhaps a missle launcher, or a grease gun. Whatever it was, the shots fired didn't take his mind off getting it. Go figure. I can see no other weapons and the targeted people seem initially unaware of the helicopter, but this doesn't mean much in the context of what we are shown here. This video clip has provided a lot of controversy wherever it's been linked. Not even to mention the administration of the coup degrace, though a moving enemy is always to be considered a threat. | |||
