This is two separate calls. The first is Hitman calling in artillery from Rolling Thunder. The second is Hitman calling in an airstrike from Tourman (?) probably an Air Force A-10 or Marine Cobra.

[LordCurlyFry]

Explanations 2: CAS (close air support) TOT (time on target, synchronizes fire or when fire is expected to come down) MTO is message to observer and the information is specific information on the fire to come down. It seems that at this point Tourman catches the information and takes over the call for support. Hitman then talks them down to the target. They call contact to ensure everything is understood and can also mean "I see". MSR is main supply route. Tourman then drops his munitions.

[LordCurlyFry]

Explanations: Hitman is an infantry unit. Rolling thunder is the name of the support asset they're contacting. Either air or artillary in this case. SEAD is "Suppression of enemy air defenses" which could be either a wild weasel attack, or artillery. Grid to suppress is the grid where targets are, grid to mark is friendlies(?). The third line is the target (SA-6 is a SAM vehicle) followed by specific mathematical values for the targeting of the unit. Smoke on the deck means friendlies pop smoke.

that is alot of digits are they writing this shit down with a pen or something?

[glwal3156]

Is it wrong that listening makes me feel at home and gives me some peace inside?

[snoopy3600]

@glwal3156 yea

[chowfon166]

what does 'smoke on the deck' mean exactly?

[subiesnacks]

Pretty sure this isn't artillery at all. CAS-close air support. Most likely A-10s or F-16s etc. And the second half when he says "walk you on", he's giving visual guidance to the pilot with landmarks and such.

[cassias456]

@subiesnacks no it's arty call... it's calling type of gun and amuntion... the second part is CAS not the first

[RVO666]

@cassias456

Correct, This is an arty mission. Suppress and mark mission to be exactly. second part is indeed CAS

[aliensuperweapon]

Can someone please exlpain me the first two sentences? What is CN (if I understood correctly) and why does RollingThunder "out" him immediately?

And what does "copy" mean in difference to "roger" and "wilco"?

I also would be thankful for any advice about the artillery protocols per link or mail.

Thank you in advance!

Are these real recordings or they make it? Maybe it is stupid to ask that but i have impression that this could be real.Although on other side it seem less and less real as seconds go by.

[nubbie1944]

@vedranaflips It's real. DoD policy mandates that all radio traffic is to be recorded for purposes of examination later.

I love the sound of radio chatter. Thanks for the upload!

[02kellt1]

is this one support request or 2 diffrent radio comunications

[telegraphline]

Artillery protocols aren't this long, it's probably several different fire missions with different channels cut together.

[saqaaf]

@telegraphline

Coming from a different Military than mine but I think the first halve if from a battery commander's set hence the constant corrections and the second is a field commander guiding CAS on to an urban tgt.
