@ jakienlen what a load of bullshit the soviets were kicked out of Somalia in early 80's, the Somalis even killed around 5 000 soviet advisers in the ogaden war, the SAMS that were destroyed in the video were the Somali air forces air defense systems, i still dont understand why they(the americans) had to destroy them? now the TFG the federal government dont even have tanks, Somalia was the mightiest military in sub Saharan Africa
Actually, the explosion at the start was a 'controlled' explosion of over 10 tons of SAM missiles and the like. The 'base' was never a Soviet airbase (where's the runway?) but was in fact the largest tank assembly plant outside of the old USSR. It was re-named "Sword Base" by the US and is where the majority of their M1/A1 and Bradley's were housed.
All this heavy metal and we still couldn't control the bad guys in jammies running around the streets cranked out on quat. All of which did not go unnoticed by the Sheik himself, Osama bin Laden who formulated his long term strategy based upon American reaction to these events.

The first part of the video is when we blew up an old Russian Airforce base that still had a lot of munitions. Was pretty cool to see and hear.
