  • WHAT IS THIS PLANE 7: 27

  • ja ja its great plain but not so much :D 2-3 ar down in serbia i got some parts of it as suvenir :D iraq was 2 waek to def it self this is whay no plane was shot down

  • None of these things and the likes of these thing will work without the ever glorious Microsoft operating software of Bill Gates! LoL! XD

    Nah, I believe these planes have their own OS.

    But by God, thank goodness this war is over! It's not a happy thing really... =(

  • This is a very poorly done video series. First, you cut the videos right in mid-sentence when you could just as easily wait 30 seconds or fewer for a more appropriate break. Second, you made numerous errors on the subtitles, which themselves are annoying. Third, the quality of the video is not good at all. And lastly, where the hell are the rest of the parts? I'm guessing there are at least 3 more. I am disappointed. 

  • they talk about how they flew through radar as were never picked up but if thats true then what did the strike package guys do that were lead by an f111 raven to strike on radar instalations really do then?

    In my opinion, the 117's wernt seen because Iraq had fuck all radar/ground controll left by the time they hit bagdad

  • @mooglebee4 get ahh, ummm lost, and get ahh, ummm, mmm a life!!!

  • If they ( Bush und Sadaam ) played chess, it would be cheaper

  • first thing first, sure maybe the bush family actually had it out for some other country to put extra bucks in their pockets, besides the billions they have, so they became president, sr, and decided to attack iraq, when they did not kill saddam, bush sr said hey ill become president and finish it off so he became president and went back to war, after killing 3 thousand of our people to us there, and killed this one man, shut the fuck up you non thinking fucks, yes conspiracy happens, but comeon

  • why do they feel the need to subtitle 'eh' 'aah' 'umm'

  • Where's part 4?
