Laser guided attack [IRAQ]

Cant find if this has been posted before but its pretty impressive anyway.Its a night time laser guided attack in Iraq.

Laser guided Attack

Sounded like at least one UH-60 with miniguns. LOVE the minigun. Miniguns are your Friend.

I dont know that its been psted, but that vids been around a bit. Its very interesting. I found myself watching it over and over trying to make out exactly what they were shooting at.

I can't tell what they're shooting at, but I love the sound of a mini going off. The only two things I know of that carry it though are the AH-6 and the UH-60, with the MH-53 occasionally, but it can't be a -53 or a -6 because of the noise levels. The AH-6 is super quiet, and the -53 is super noisy, and requires so much maintenance that I doubt it could stay on target that long. heh. There's at least one Apache there too. One gun sounds like a 30mm chain gun.

Here's another video I googled that I've never seen before. Closer view on the chopper. Apparently this is show of force demonstration, not in combat, so title of vid is wrong.

Definatly a UH-60. I was going to guess AH-1Z. The chaingun sounds like a ground based M2. The tracer fire is coming from the ground and the ROF is too high to be a M203 30mm.

Could have been a AH-6C "Little Bird" they can be armed with both a minigun and rockets. They are well known to be used for close air support and direct attack for special operations forces in adverse weather and at night.

curious where is the out cry that we see on other topics when the scenario is switched and its the americans in the firing line?

Perhaps some people can tell the difference between good and evil. Unlike Cassius Clay.

I seen this video before, i think it's a C-130 spectre gunship. firing an minigun... that would be the most possible guess.

there is no good or evil in war
just how you look at things

Oh I don't know, I'd call the massacre of 6 million Jews fairly evil and their liberation by the allies fairly good.

But maybe you're right, the Arabs would probably see that one differently.
