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
(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!
