Iraq Video of Apache engaging Iraqi Insurgents
-
Has anybody seen this video yet? Go download the full version about 12 megs long. Dont get the 4 meg version, which has been edited to make it seem as if the Americans are carrying out wanton killings. This video is chilling, as it shows the Apache's stunningly precise 30mm cannon firepower. Exactly 100 shots were used to kill 3 insurgents. People complained of overkill, but of course Army officials replied that the 30mm chaingun was the lightest weapon carried by the Apache....

Theres another where a C-130 gunship is engaging human targets 1 by 1 with thier cannons in Alfaghistan. Its about 9mins long. Got it from BT. Talk about overkill.
-
The American style is overkill, "if you play with the bull, sometimes you get the horn" is the message they like to send out.
-
We call it overkill, they call it firepower.
I'm glad it's a pretty low-res picture - I wouldn't want to see what's left of the poor sods.
I'm wondering why those guys were moving so casually after the first set of shots was fired, though - surely they must have heard the firing. What was the range? -
Woww.. that was some video..
Where can i download the 12mb video?

the zeroing of the gun look out a bit.....still fierce though..
-
my god....wah, the cannon looks powerful man.....thank god they not dumb enough to use their rockets.....still, it really looks like they are not very right, as in i am also not sure myself......and anyone really see those cannons the apache have before?
-
Yeah, those cannons have a larger calibre than STK's Bionix 2MT.Originally posted by snk86:my god....wah, the cannon looks powerful man.....thank god they not dumb enough to use their rockets.....still, it really looks like they are not very right, as in i am also not sure myself......and anyone really see those cannons the apache have before? -
wrong pic so deleted. sorrie
-
ahh...wrong pic..this is the 30mm cannon.
-
ok, as i din see real things before, so asking ah, if you ganna hit by those cannons, whats most likey gonna happen to your body? and can those cannons take out a light tank or APC?
-
Yes, we need to remember for all the supposed mishaps that "proves" the flaws of the Apache in combat, it will be objective to note how many of its enemies can vouch for the fact that it is a very effective weapon.
No you are not safe even at night. -
Those cannons can take out anything, almost anything!!!Originally posted by snk86:ok, as i din see real things before, so asking ah, if you ganna hit by those cannons, whats most likey gonna happen to your body? and can those cannons take out a light tank or APC? -

If you saw what 5.56 rounds fired from m-16s did to watermelons at the range, you can roughly guess how your body is gonna turn out. -
if you see the clip, the body is blown to bits. The apache's main role is to take out those tanks so the gun works very well against soft skin vehicles and APC lor.Originally posted by snk86:ok, as i din see real things before, so asking ah, if you ganna hit by those cannons, whats most likey gonna happen to your body? and can those cannons take out a light tank or APC? -

but then against a T-72 lei? as in will the cannon works or not? or do they have to use their hellfire?

Some say they are only farmers and not insurgents. I personally do not agree. Why do u think the guy at at the tractor was busy removing farbic cover for the "farming tool" then the 1st guy got shot
He should be taking cover just like the guy on the right did 
My take is that the "tool" is a weapon and he was trying to use it against the attacking apache 
Talking abt bodies blown apart.. check out AC-130's 105mm on....

Farmers?
That's a tractor meh? I tot it's some kinda vehicle Towed weapons platform...like a ground to air launch plaform or some milan-like thingy....
Farmers got 3 tonners (canvas trucks, go figure) and rovers one meh?
If it's soldiers then I got nothing to say...it war man...but it's really farmers...then

Lesson learnt:
Don't carry out suspicious activities at night or make it look like so.
If they had raised their hands up into the air to surrender, they might have survived. -
erm. the thing is, they probably didnt even know the apache was there. i think the apache was actually miles away from e 'insurgents'. if u see an apache in front of u, dont u think u'll run???
hai. trigger-happy soldiers, stupid farmers. end of story. -
Actually the Apache did fire one salvo that missed them at the start of the video, and they started running. But when no rounds hit near, they all started milling around in confusion instead of taking cover.Originally posted by Groovee:erm. the thing is, they probably didnt even know the apache was there. i think the apache was actually miles away from e 'insurgents'. if u see an apache in front of u, dont u think u'll run???
