  2. After action report on this had to be fun for the crew….

  4. Honestly they shouldn’t even be mad, it’s like hitting the eye of a giant. Nice shot, Tali-bro.

  5. “You can’t fight the government with your AK they have nu- Oh…I guess you can”

  8. Would this be considered a mission kill? How much less effective would an Apache be without it’s thermals? I understand these helicopters fly usually very far way from the target when they’re firing so I’m guessing it would make identifying and destroying the target just more harder with the normal sight?

  12. Shit so expensive that taliban gonna get revived back to life and slapped with payment plan

  14. Crazy shot on the guys end, I assume this was day time if the guy could see well enough to take decently aimed shots at the Apache, that being said even with the TADS (TV/Thermal set on the nose) knocked out the the M230 30mm can be slaved to the pilot or co pilot gunners IHADSS (fancy monocle on their helmet) so they could just physically point the cannon at the guy just by looking at him and blow him to pieces. On top of that the TV and Thermal channels on the TADS are separate so they could have had a working TV image still. No idea where that initial 30mm burst went though
