I do not know where this mpeg originated, but it shows a scary level of
competence in equipment & personnel.
Here's the email note on the forwarded mail I received.
HERE'S THE MPEG
This is awesome.
This is unbelievable.
Turn on your speakers and watch this Apache stop
Iraqis from placing a bomb along the roadside to kill American
troops.....the Iraqis can not hear nor see the apache because it is dark
and they are 2 miles away...they are using infrared.
TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; War on Terror;
KEYWORDS:
My guess is that they are a lot closer than 2 miles, counting time
from noise to hit, but then I'm not an expert.

Probably no explosives, those rounds just turn a human size target
into vapor.

AWESOME!
To: slowhandluke
Excellent!
Of course, as Rush always says:
"The primary
purpose of the Military is to kill people and break things."
Job well done!

This is video that was circulated a while back. The originating
story with it was from ABC news and they took the slant that the Apache was
engaging civilians.
Obviously the one who bought the farm by the tractor
was unsheathing some type of launcher to defend himself with.
There was
another mpeg circulating that had more video to it that showed for sure they
were militants before the apache targeted them. I haven't seen it for sometime,
but someone at FR knows where it is.
Have a nice day, and thanks for the
morning boost.

WHO-HA, They should show this over Iraqi TV. Maybe some of those
idiots would get the idea.

>> placing a bomb along the roadside?
It looks like
they are planting potatoes instead of mines.
Do they use tractors to
plant mines?
To: Steel Eye
Yea, I'm sure alot of Iraqi's are out planting potatoes at night
along roadsides.
To: Monty22
Whoa! You aren't kidding...
The above picture shows a spent round from the Apache's 30 mm cannon. (A 9mm
shell in front for size comparison.)
If that is what they were using...YIKES!!!

I remember it on TV a couple of weeks ago with the storyline about
"fairness" as we (the United States) hold the technological advantage. It being
as "the other side doesn't have a chance".
Which reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live skit with Rummy.

My estimation is less than a mile at 4300fps.
Were those
50cal's you think? The guy who was under the large truck rolled out into the
open before getting peppered again.
Buzzards gotta eat too....

Well, maybe the eyes on Iraqi potatoes are
particularly sensitive to light.

They are not planting anything. It is some sort of tillage
equipment. You can see where soil has been worked. And working at night is not
unusual... for farmers or militants.
To: azhenfud
I believe the Apache has a 25mm gun, not a 50 cal. I think its
25mm, might even be 30mm.
