Dear Mom, having a blast in Irag...





            Keep an eye on the opposing direction van parked just down the street

            Talk about pinpoint accuracy! Read below then watch the video.

            The video was filmed by some Air Force Joint Tactical Air Controllers

            (JTAC) in Tal Afar, west of Mosul . They were with some Marine ASTs

            (Advisor Support Team) and are attached to Iraqi units and help train

             their forces on a day-to-day basis.

 

            They were in a fairly sustained firefight in the streets of Tal Afar

            with about 3 Anti-Iraqi Forces (AIF) and got clearance to fire a

            Maverick Missile. They set their video camera on the bumper of their

            armored HMMWV which they were using for cover.

 

            You can hear them shooting back and forth. The rounds you can hear are

            from the Marines and the ones you hear pinging against the side of the

            vehicle with no accompanying pop are from the AIF. When the JTACs say

            they just fired rifle that means the F-16 aircraft just launched the

            Maverick. You can hear it come in and see it strike the vehicle the AIF

            were using for cover.

           A few less bad guys.  End of story!
