  • Well now they know how it is to get shot at by an A-10.

  • bad aim. they missed ...

  • yanks need to get the darn flab out their eyes and see what they are doing

  • Close Combat Support to the Max....

  • GAU-8-30mm -cool))

  • Comment removed

  • looks like such an awesome job might apply in the summer

  • @rwhite2012 please don't. watch this /watch?v=MjXUdDc4Ls8.

    its not as it seems

  • This is 2007 royal angalians.

  • Dragons fire from an A-10. Sounds like a dragon calling out, once the sound catches up with you. Thats if I knew what a dragon sounded like ;)

  • @DIZZYGIT its funny you say that because in ww2 the americans preferred precision airstrikes during the day as it would lead to less collateral damage and less wasted ammunition while the british peeferred area bombings which were mostly held at night and so they coulndnt even see what they were trying to hit

  • @gasmask1818

    Lol, precision bombing? Minimizing collateral damage?

    What do you call the firebombings of Dresden and Tokyo then?

    Better yet, what about the failed bombings over Normandy Beach. Every single bomb missed their fucking target, which was part of the reason why Omaha was such a blood bath.

    Americans don't know shit about precision.

  • @degree7 Precision? my friend, do you know about the Paveway and JDAM series guided bombs? perhaps the most accurate in the world? and they are solely American,

    Americans are the King of accuracy, they have the largest and most advanced bombers

  • @Mattc23q king of accuracy but obviously not kind of common sense lol

  • @Mattc23q Actually since American is bascily owned and in debt to China, China are the king of accuracy.

  • @TheStrangebutReal Nope, america is owned by China, Japan, Switzerland and the UK in debt, there all the king of accuracy (:

  • that guy is makin' our damn Air Force look bad

  • when the germans dropped bombs the yank ´s and the brits ducked. when the brits dropped bombs the germans would duck but when the americans dropped bombs everyone ducks. I remember my history teacher saying this all the time.

  • THATS FUCKING DANGER CLOSE!! ... USAF BY CHANCE?!

  • @jm25211391 yes its an A-10 Thunderbolt, an American jet.

  • fucking americans....

  • yanks are firing....lmfao

  • god damn americans,they train the mujahideens to be killing machines to fight russia cause theyre paranoid about fucking communism,then when it comes to fighting them they wonder why they cant win,not to mention dragging every fucker else in with them.saying that,i cant wait to join the coldstream guards later this year and hopefully pop some of these extremist freaks

  • A lot of friendly fire is caused by incorrect grid refs, not the American pilots. Without their support we would loose a lot more guys on the ground, thank fuck we have the help to use against our enemy. Saves a lot more lives by a mile than those lost by friendly fire

  • "yaaaaaaay we coooool =D" ! *BADABABABDODMODABDMADOAMSDOM" "ಠ_ಠ "

  • Great leading bro :D

  • That's one hell of a sound ;

  • Get a load of all these anti-American comments, whilst an American A-10 swoops in to support the Brits who are quite likely greatful to have their big brother supporting them. Next time you're pinned down and need air support from us feel free to dial up the French or Italians to come save you.

  • @NocturalRyte - I've seen several documentaries where British soldiers have nothing but praise for the support from the US Airforce and it's what those soldiers say that matters, not Youtube fools. So try not to bite and don't let it make you react too defensively the other way.

  • @NocturalRyte im abrit soldier mate, ignore the fucking idiots on here, they are all COD Champs

  • The British soldier is a lot like an A10 Thunderbolt.

    His body is built around his balls.

  • A10 = Angel from Hell.

  • holy shitt. 

  • One word.......americans ! shit shots shit army

  • @bobnudd Rofl? The Americans have 100x better military technology than the British, and just as well trained soldiers as the Brits. And this video, I don't think it's either sides fault. The British don't know the guidelines for A-10 air support as that's an american plane - so they don't know the safe zone radius. Stupid idiot.

  • @CODtheater just as well trained soldiers? do they fuck

  • @CODtheater It was called in the airstrike with friendlys on the ground , this is not call of duty "CODtheater" i have repect for our allys the americans but and this is a FACT they have problems with friendly fire on there on troops and there allys , i hope they all come home safe soon , been there done that .

  • oooh god so scary 0___0

  • The legend of a gun that had a plane attached.

  • Get back lads, the fucking yanks are firing...

  • @Mr94T Yeah and they might just have saved your ass, you cheeky git.

  • @Mr94T at us lol

  • Jesus, first of all i salute you and your mates! Second i plan to join in 3 years and Third HOLY FUCK danger close much!

  • British Soldiers nearly killed by a A10 Thunderbolt dosent suprise me tbh

  • I didnt see any colored smoke either, this is just a good example of what NOT to do in a danger close gun run :) they are lucky to be alive

  • @lmos26 pop smoke to mark their exact location to all surrounding enemy. mmmhmmmmmmm

  • @TheKneekap Haha okay smart ass, search "a-10 close air support afghanistan" and watch the first video. good job embarrassing yourself, lol mr know it all my ass

  • @lmos26 i wasnt saying it was the right thing to do at all, i was just using logic really. if the pilot was clued up on his directions surely he'd understand where the friendly troops were? :S lol you really gotta chill out mate

  • @TheKneekap Ah do' give me that crap, you said it like a smart ass and deliberately phrased you're comment as if to say that I was a complete idiot for saying it, and yes it would be illogical to mark with smoke if the enemy had air power or precise artillery, but they don't since US/UK soldiers are dealing with bearded dumbasses carrying ak-47's and rpgs. Even still, using smoke or UV spot light is crucial for danger close CAS, unless they have clear land marks to guide the pilot by

  • @lmos26 it's obvious you're very sensitive lol. and these guys arn't "bearded dumbasses" that's exactly the frame of mind the russians had and look where it got them mate. they wont ever be beat as there ranks will keep getting filled. kill one and two will replace them. america wont win this one, just like Nam. if they were, like you say, "bearded dumbasses" why havnt you got the job done already oh great american? and why do you call yourself a vet when you did only 3 years in the military?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheKneekap now piss off and pretend to be a know it all somewhere else

  • Comment removed

  • those brits should have been in direct communication with the pilot... however the a-10 pilot did fire pretty close, about 0.8 miles

  • When you are familiar with the supersonic crack of that bullet going past your ear, then you will understand the chances that have to be taken in combat. Alabama, B co 2/1 196th Americal Div. 1970-71 RVN

  • What the hell is with the goddarn prejudice aganist countries here? Brits and Yanks are allies and whilst theres always some rib jabbing and prodding some of you guys take it too far. Unless your there doing what they do, interacting with the world which they're living in I highly doubt some of you that hate on one another truly understand the bond due to the alliance that they have, As for the video, watch their reaction and tell me they didn't expect danger close in some form

  • british and american soldiers should be better killing themselves and leave the iraki people(and the rest of the people of the world) alone

  • brittish and american soldiers should be better killing themselfs and leave the iraki people(and the rest of the worl people) alone

  • that's terrifying

  • Well you said danger close.

  • I love how the USA is not the only 1s fightin this taliban reg head war much respect to u men im a soon to be a US Soldier hope to meet some brittish soldiers when im out there

  • @callmeblainer Good luck in Afghanistan Dude :)

  • @Ry43deck thanks alot

  • God damn the A10 is a scary mother fucker.

  • only brits can do that!

  • Dats one fuckin scary sound

  • I fucking love you Brits got to be the funniest bunch of people with the best sense of humor i have ever seen "think i just shit myself" AHAHAHAHAAH

  • @TomBean21 YA KNOW IT'S TO BE DONE, GOD BLESS US , GOD BLESS USA

  • "Yeah we're cool!" Pop pop pop POPOPOPOPOPP POP! *OH SHIT* FALL BACK...

    lmao

  • that grunting noise u hear from the planes is the 30mm Gatling gun on the front of them a10

  • @ritzkai

    And it's a beautiful sound to hear....unless you are on the receiving end. Then again, if you are on the receiving end you probably won't be alive to hear it anyways.

  • @ohnodevo When your on the ground and you hear that sound you feel safe and know that the enemy will soon be vaporised!

  • u boys need to get the fuck outta Afghanistan before u get killed off one by one,u've done such an amazing job, so stoic for such a fucked up pretense, i admire u all so much it dont warrant thinking of..but please somehow..leave em to rot or just to fuckin progress on their own.....eventually they will 'win; by attrition anyway,with their murderous methods and cowardly IEDS, assassinating their mentors, tellin ur foe ur location & capabilities while u risk ur life to train & protect em..blah

  • hmmm gau 8 gatling tank buster cannons, add a spectre or two..with bofors and a small howitzer raining phosphur yak yak each and maybe,just fucking maybe a couple of f18's dropping cluster mines,apache gunships, black hawks with stealth tech loaded with spec op assault teams, afghani commandos act as tip of the spear, rush & attack, swarm position,mortar rounds & vacuum bombs..snake and nape...bayonet & rifle butt trench knife and a mossberg sawn....

  • I BET THAT'S WILLIAM SHOOTING !

  • "Nicey, d'you shit yerself?"

  • What was that sound!!! It sounded like king kong, just after the explosion

  • The sound of that A10's Cannon is Really fucking Scary, I could imagine being those soldiers, They could have been blown to jiblets, Cant wait to join in 2 years, LOL

  • @FISRTGOAT why do you think they call it the warthog

  • When you're up in the air, everyone looks the same. The pilot can only target as well as the guy on the ground can give him directions. If the guy on the ground isn't doing his job well, the pilot is going to target the guys he gives him... so in turn, he sucks as well.

  • @IIKiboshII that;s what the blue on blue transceivers are for are they not?

  • 0:25 if they didnt shit them self b4 they did then lol

    British army Be The Best

  • you know its a close call whan someone turns and say ''i think i just shit myself'' that sound of the A10 going off is mad would not like to hear that at close range

  • @ckyslipknot u dont hear it, the bullets break the sound barrier and hit way b4 the sound lol

  • @ckyslipknot not really, I think most people in that situation would say 'I DID just shit myself!' then an even closer one strikes! Damn scary for them I bet.

  • If you brits are mad about usaf then send your own damn planes or just leave. I mean damn we fly what about 95% of the air strikes thats means we are more likly to make a close or fatal hit. war is hell, but please we're not trying to get a blue on blue. plus how many times have the usaf pulled your ass out of trouble in this war? one or two bad things happen and that goes all over the world, then ten thousand good things happen and it never goes all over the world.

  • @droid98756 The RAF have some close air support but nobodies better for close air support than the United States of America. That's why most of your troops relied our air-support. plus the RAF is not trained and/or don't have resources to conduct their own close air-support.

  • @DudeWarrior55 WTF are u on about mate RAF dont have the training for CAS ? you dumb shit all air power in afghanistan is shared UK jets help US US jets help UK DUTCH jets help UK etc its all shared mate why do people insist on posting total Dumb shit thinking they no wot their talking about????

  • @iSmeLLbUd please write good grammar then come back.

  • @DudeWarrior55 U understand it thats good enuff for me..... i noticed u had nothing but that to say so Please write some good knowledge and come back....

  • @iSmeLLbUd ok whatever

  • @aggies436 calm down mate haha its just a vid they were taking it lightly plus how many times has australia england canada germany holland and other countries saved US personnel in this war? plus to be fair you guys only fly about 70-75% of all combat sorties the rest are covered by NATO and ISAF and other countries PLUS there are more foreign troops as advisors than US advisors yes you have more combat troops but thats expected since you guys started it and are the major contributor :D

  • maybe there was taliban cut in half from the first strike crawling twards the brits so we came back in for another turn just to make sure the durka durkas have a painless death, sorry about that scare brits...lol

  • BBBVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV­, that is way more scary than the ju87 stuka noise....

  • now that was close!!!!

  • First we are cool, then Shit and let's go!! Ahahaha british, always you were gays, now you are not gonna change! We fuck your women in our nice islands! Kisses from Greece!

  • @TheHellenicFire What you talking about? I don't think you would be clever or tough just standing right near the fire.

  • @SystemBrandon What you are talking about has nothing to do with the meaning of my comment, heroes or cowards, the brits have always been the gays of the planet, EVERYONE KNOWS THIS! Ask all the girls you know, how many times they have been for holidays in Greece and what happened to them there.... ;-)

  • @TheHellenicFire Well we are the ones sending brave men to war.. Where are Greek soldiers? Sucking each other off, cause they are gay cowards.

  • @SystemBrandon You gay and illiterate young piece of shit! Go and ask how the afghans cut the british heads and how they respect the Greek warriors! Because no one in this planet like gay assholes who go and kill innocent people! But they do have respect for Greeks because they still remember how Alexander The Great passed from their lands.

  • @TheHellenicFire I don't respect any Greek cock sucking wanker. Even Alexander the Gay.

  • @SystemBrandon It's normal your behaviour! You still remember how Greeks raped your mother the previous summer on her holidays in Crete! Even the open legs of your bitchy sister you will never forget her well shaved pussy full in blood by the Greek cocks that raped her!

  • @TheHellenicFire I can't remember that, I'm sorry I can't understand you Alexander the Gay.

  • now u have an idea how it feels like

  • we are cool...and then bang bang bang lol

  • lol "a think a just shit myself"

  • Them A10's have a scary sounding gun

  • 0:23-0:27 (You Think Wtf?).......0:30-0:33 (You Aint Alive Long Enough To Hear That)

  • Jesus the Yanks nearly fucked us, that was fuckin close

  • nice gun i love it!!!!

  • PuLL bACk!!!!!

  • Is it scary in the army

  • @JordanMuir12 Its not as bad as the news potraits it but i guess it can be bad depending on where u get deployed but aslong as the British are near you you're safe as sound.

  • Dont slag off the yanks there would be a lot more dead british soldiers if they didnt give the air support they provide, at times they've been the only ones willing to drop danger close.

  • @rangliansoldier thank you brother, for the support in both these wars...

  • @rangliansoldier right on. they're the fucking angels on our shoulders. people bash them but until they've served with the yanks, or even served at all, they need to shut the fuck up.

  • @xfinchx Gotta protect our brothers in arms : D

  • @rangliansoldier yea & there will be alot more americans without thre airforce killing there own men

  • @haxx49 LOL the USAF are very professional and had the most powerful close-air support we provided. Granted our air-force make mistakes, but they have saved more lives than it killed. Something that the British media refuse to mention. Most of UK mostly focused on the negatives Americans done rather than the positives we do, to me it's sad.

  • @Hperman09 yea of course america went to war for spite for the countries oil and i heared that george bush planned the 9/11

  • @haxx49 ok i don't talk to conspiracy theorists. Bye!

  • @rangliansoldier Excuse me, We have an Airforce and its the best in the world. I'm sorry that your pilots are a bunch of wana be top gun actors.

  • @NathanAndrewLonsdale  he's british mate, look at his youtube account name

  • @NathanAndrewLonsdale It's really not though is it? The RAF refused to come and resupply one of our platoons in Nad Ali as it was "too dangerous". So they had to rely on the USAF and the awesome US PEDRO casualty evacuation teams, those guys are the bravest in the air. Another RAF chinook hit a tree on a regularly used HLS at my Patrol Base, if the casualty had still been alive at the time it would have been their fault he wouldnt have made it to Bastion.

  • @rangliansoldier Really? Fuck, thats crap then... I'm going Afghan, I'm training to become an officer in the Royal Marines... Remember we wouldn't be in Afghan if bush wasn't such an oil thirsty prick...

  • @NathanAndrewLonsdale Not much oil in Afghan, infact I dont think theres any? We went to Afghan in reaction to 9/11.

  • Comment removed

  • @NathanAndrewLonsdale Been to Afghan twice haven't seen a single oil miner.

  • @rangliansoldier well then they shouldnt be doing danger close when theres no combatants around them.

  • @ewdennis So what you think we like to call it in meters from our positions for no good fucking reason?

  • @rangliansoldier no i was mearly stating that the americans have developed a over sensative trigger finger and it would be easy to get caried away, as you can see in the video the original target looked to be 3, 4 hundred meters away. for a good 8 or 9 rounds from a A-10 gataling to land maby 10 meters away from the sqaud is crazy, at least we can use danger close in our airforce properly.

  • with the increase of allied troops in an area, as well as an increased number of combat missions, there's gonna be an increased # of friendly casualties. With todays technology our boys have a much better chance to see through the fog of war than a roman soldier of antiquity. However, until we have Terminators hunting down the bad guys for us, we humans are bound to make errors. Just know that we're allies no matter how much sh*t we hurl across the lake at each other..we're in this together

  • i heard aabout a group of muslims that were burning poppies. nothing happend to them but if we did that over in their country with something that represent their soldiers we would have be slaughterd. why cant our country stand for its religion and stop letting others live by theirs whilst their here when we can be arrested or or killed for living by our religion in their country.

  • @MrJCPTHEBEST Just a comment on Britains religion, that too came from the east. The whole of Europe has been indoctrinated already by a fake Middle East religion. I can see it happening again the way things are going.

  • typical americnas

  • fuckin terrorist pakistan) free afghanistan i.m afghan?

  • LMAO "AWW SHIT" "hey are you ok?!" "YA WE'RE COOL"

  • LMAO british troops are cool and funny

  • danger close...

  • fucking yanks nearly killed friendlys once again !!!

  • @TurbulentG And how the fk do u know that it wasnt the ground forces that gave the wrong coordinates?

    Im going to be in the army in about a year and i would be bloody glad to see the Americans doing a gun run or somthing for my section.

  • @celticsdabest11 ok mate we all know that we had to paint the roofs of our vehicles bright orange so the yanks wouldent bomb our vehicles .. no need to say more and calm down you pillock you aint even a soldier mate you sound like your to big for your boots doesent go down well in the army just a little tip !

  • @TurbulentG m8 i just read over what i wrote and i dont see anything wrong with it.

    To start with i know im not a soldier thats why i said im joining the army in 1 year or so.

    2nd what did i say that suggested i was to big for my boots?

    I just hate people disrespecting soldiers whats so wrong about that?

    Oh and last thing are u a soldier?

  • @allibowthepilot i know i was saying to someone saying we should get them

  • The one guy who disliked this video is probably the one who shit himself, lol

  • fucking stupid yanks again learn to fuckin shoot straight

  • @polinitm125 it WAS straight, hence no ff's

  • @polinitm125 March 25, 2003 - Two British tank-crewmen were killed and two others wounded when their Challenger 2 tank was fired on by another British tank. Iraqis have T72 and T55 tanks so why the Challenger 2 would mistake for another challenger 2 for an Iraqi tank? Even their IFF system shown the Challenger 2 tank were friendlies, they still shoot at them despite being told to hold fire.

    It's called accident for a reason. Calling "yanks" stupid is pretty immature. u have plenty of FF too.

  • This is 1 Royal Anglian calling in Close Air Support, in Kajaki area of Helmand 2007, and it was a close contact. This wasn't the only incident we had out there, I had an A10 do the same thing in a different area. It does happen a lot but what people fail to realise is the amount of times the yanks get it right is far, far greater than the times they don't. The amount of times the A10's fart of death, and other US jets have potentially saved me is more than I can remember.

    RIP Nicey.

  • Anything within 600m is regarded as danger close,but that second pass of the A-10 must have been within 50-75m. They must have been bumped big style to call it in that close!

  • Comment removed

  • fuck that was REAL DANGER CLOSE.

  • Two runs an still killed no fucker, .FFS IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET!!

  • one word, american

  • Awesome vid..... To respond to a few nuggets shouting off out there....The reason there have been more blue on blue with US planes is because they have a lot more out there and fly a hell of a lot more combat missions. All I care about is if I call in CAS I want them they asap and do their stuff to get us home safe. As for you lot slagging the yanks, they're good soldiers and great allies. Have served in the British Army for 19 yrs, so I know what I'm talking about. Come home safe lads!

  • @CeejBlue reallly yanks good troops? were you in logistics? i never worked with them but few of mates paras all who have been outthere tell me the UMC shit a brick and pull out every time it gets hooky, buncho of toy steriod pump freaks from what i hear not to mention thier combat record aint so great but hey just what i hear. also hear at camp baston the yanks get the piss taken out of them by our lot.

  • @CeejBlue True story - we bring them in close and they're there for us when they don't have to be. It's not just up the pilot, British JTACs have to get it right, signallers have to get it right, parent air callsigns need to get it right. Not easy.

  • @CeejBlue it is also to do with the levels of authority regarding engagement. RAF when flying CAP have to request authorisation to engage (unless fired upon). The USAF do not. It's a policy discrepancy which is leading to multiple blue on blue - look at the Matty Hull video, a classic example if there was one needed.

    Agreed though, come home safe guys... don't get dead.

  • @CeejBlue With the British, not "in" the British Army, however we did invent America so maybe they should be ours anyway :L

  • @CeejBlue While you are busy fighting those nutters on their home turf our government is allowing their culture to expand into every corner of our British society. It is a joke mate.

  • @planetrockford no joke mate I totally agree with you!!! It's a total disgrace, everytime I come home from somewhere I have less freedoms and those 'visitors' to my lovely country have more!! I'd love us to have a strong government for once

  • @CeejBlue Watching the Queen's speech this year made me wonder what country I am living in, My grandfather would be pleased that he spent 4 and a half years in a Jap prisoner of war camp and the rest of his life suffering from tropical diseases so we could cower down to political correctness and pander to the off spring of those wanted sovereignty and got it, yet came here anyway. Screw multi-culture Britain and the BBC. Britain has enough crap to deal with without adding to it.
