AH-64 Apache Ops

what can a soldier do these days ,throw away your wapen
and be lucky to stay alive

To add to my other comment,

This was in Afganistan shortly after 9/11 at the benging of the US lead war on terror. I think they weren't farmers because you can see the people drive up in cars and have a little meeting and when they run around pilling up RPG's it gives it away.

As for killing the wounded person I dont see a problem with that for 2 reasons;

1- It's more humane to finish him off than leave him to die slowly and painfull

2- A wounded soldier can always shoot back or kill a hostage (the whole reason behind the Brittish SAS's training on the "doubble Tap" method wear an enemy is shot twice to ensure he is killed)

If you have seen the full length version you will see that the people are stockpilling RPG's and other weapons in a near by field, After seeing this the helo crew ask for permission to take out the people.

So they did have a good reason to do so.

this is were the whole airforce is here for.. if they doing low flight movies everybody thinks its great and if they are doing there job, were they are here for, everybody thinks its a stupid movie.
militairy plains are not here just for fun things!!!!!

wooosh, what an impressive beautiful video... it's a joke of course :-(
what's that f...ing video.
i love airplanes, war machines 'cause its powerfull ; but, what is the insterest about this ? to see people killed ? definitively not. i want in cockpit view, airplanes flying.
maybe the shooter had good reason... if so, i'm interesting to know.

YA war crime... U.S. ROE seems to be rather odd.I wonder what would happen to european soldiers if they did such military action.Anyways it is halas an excellent recruiting argument for US-haters

Where an when did this happen? It definately looked like one of them threw down an RPG or something of that nature in the beginning. I wonder if finishing off the wounded combatant wasn't a bit on the side of excessive. He was down after all. Any thoughts?

Mostly curious as to where this happened.

It sure looks like the first guy throws down a rocket launcher in the field. When he spotted the apache he ran and hid it. that what its look to me. If it was only farmers, why suddenly run and throw something in the field?

What was that all about? These guys were doing something suspicious, but it looks to me that there was no rocket launcher there, just farm tractor...

That vid has been around a while and there has been a lot of critism of it. It is claimed that the people were armed and that the second guy was running to a rocket launcher before being atomised. Other people say the people were innocent farmer that were murdered for no reason.
That vid is shot in the late evening and the Apache is just over a mile away from the people. This has been calculated by knowing the muzzle velocity of the Apache's 30mm gun and timing the sound of the gun firing and the rounds impacting.

tell me please...where r they armed?
