  1. I swear you can see a single frame where the dirt being kicked up from the impact is visible while simultaneously showing a blur of the projectile itself (coming in from right to left)
    Is this due to the speed of the projectile combined with rolling shutter speed/camera limitations?

  2. My buddy, who got deployed in Afghanistan as an Apache pilot, literally told me about Hellfires exploding right next or on top of talibs, and they would just walk away like nothing happened.

    I didn’t believe it until I saw this video.

  3. Definitely not a hellfire, they both would have become confetti if it was a hellfire.

  4. Are you sure that is not an IED, mine or some other explosive originating from the ground?

  5. You’ll know a hellfire when you see one. Nobody here would have walked away like that. This ain’t it. 

  6. Maybe it was an RPG – theres no doubt something came in from the right so its not an IED. But the trajectory seems too low for a hellfire. If it was an RPG that would explain why they seemingly didnt get hurt as the round exploded to and facing their rear…..

  7. Probably some kind of anti-armor munition, right? Shaped charge at the contact point and not a lot of shrapnel. Any normal artillery shell or missile would have shredded them.

  8. That’s most definitely not a hellfire or could be a Ginzu

  9. Not a hellfire lol. If it was there would be Taliban BBQ left behind.

  10. The fighters in fact *did not* get hit in this video, sir.

  11. Every missile has its job. If this was a flachette round, these guys would be pinned to the nearest tree.

    Hellfire is a hell of a weapon, just not meant for taking out two dudes on a stroll (With or without weapons)

  12. That’s seems like a pretty small munition for a hellfire.
