  • I was part of the 10th Mt. 2-14 Infantry. The cobra was providing my unit support as we were in a prolonged firefight just outside the University compound. We were pinned down for about an hour, and the cobra was putting fire on a building that held a lot if the bad guys. The door gunner on the blackhawk was also giving them some lead too. Great video, thanks. Never thought I would see that again.

  • The Skinnies got hell from above.

  • This was C and B companies battle. Golden Dragons Baby!

  • Sorry Rangers, but this was the first Mogadishu Mile(where were you?)! We were ambushed by the Sammies about 2 miles outside the University compound during a search mission, and had several wounded. We fought our way back to the compound on foot and under heavy direct fire(RPGs included). This is where Cco 2/14 earned their badges. Thanks for posting these videos.

  • You know that this is month before "BLACK HAWK DOWN"... this was the mission "Restore Hope" by the marines under Bush sen. They left and than the Deltas and Rangers went in, after Aidid killed 24 pakistan UN-Soldiers. That was under Clinton.

  • But you know that this happens month before BLACK HAWK DOWN! This was during the mission "restore hope" under Bush Sen. and than the marines left and the Deltas and Rangers went in to get Aidid after the killing of 24 pakistan US Soldiers.

  • That is amazing! I've never seen actual combat footage of the Mog there before. Certainly haven't seen modern combat footage of Army Cobra's. Kinda hard to imagine its been so long ago now. Glad you found this footage. Thanks for posting it.

  • I remember this, I got promoted to corpral that day at the embassy compound.. They lit up that building...

  • I was standing on the roof of HQ looking at this. The Turks were also shooting with tanks at this target. Some foes got blown skyhigh.. I will never forget the sound of the 22 mm cannon on the heli...

  • According to the video poster, this was in September, not in June.

    If I'm thinking of the same incident that you are, (I don't know the date, but around the 4th of July,) there was an attack on the University one night, when a USO show was coming through town. I was with a group of buddies playing darts at the MWR building at the bottom of the hill when we started taking small arms fire.
