This is a night vision movie from Iraq , showing live action against Iraqi insurgents.

The pictures were taken from an AC130 Specter gunship two and a half miles away.

The guys in the picture are setting up a roadside bomb and planning to ambush an American convoy which followed a short while after the pictures were taken.

They were setting up for the ambush and were pacing off the distance from the bomb to where the convoy was to pass by.

Turn your sound up.

  • Sorry Hollywood types, it's not an AC130, it's an AH-64 helicopter...you know...the ability to HOVER

  • What is the difference? It is Death from Above, just like we advertise in U.S. Military.

  • No Americans were killed. The bad guys bit the dust. Literally. American technology in it's finest. No need for hand to hand combat if you can kill the enemy with superior weaponry and stealth. "Gay" way of fighting? I don't know what third world shithole country you're from, but feel free to engage in combat like these primordial insurgents were trying to do. Just don't piss and moan when you are cut into Swiss cheese by 50 caliber hot lead ripping every tendon and bone in your ignorant body.

  • that's the most gay way of fighting.that's how americans do it. the gayrican way. i recently watched 300, now i see this.damn funny comparison..

  • Make peace not war :(

  • love it

  • America.. fuck ya

  • @wbedient Nice to hear you came home safely

  • @WhiteArcticFoxhound Not a pilot... Infantry. This happened just outside the wire and then I saw this video a week later. We were on the same base as the helicopters so that video got passed around pretty quick. Remember this was in 2003, and we didn't have internet access set up yet (first internet cafe for soldiers I saw was in Mosul in JAN 04) so it just went from laptop to laptop. Our supply NCO showed it to my team when we came back to fill up our rigs with JP8 (gas).

  • @wbedient Ok, great to know, thanks. So you were a chopper pilot? 

  • @WhiteArcticFoxhound I know it was an Apache 'cause I was there. This was in Ballad, it was at night. I think it was around late November or early december 2003.

  • @digamums Why are you so certain that it's an AH-64, could be an AH-1V Cobra
