Excellent pictures of a Taliban BTR-70 getting bombed

Thanks for the host space Sharkeeper!

Pics

This was sent from a pilot aboard the USS John C. Stennis. He was the
strike element lead on this attack, and received these pictures as a
"thank you" from the U S Army controllers on the ground. It is an
excellent example of a joint, combined arms operation.
A Taliban/ al-Qaida armored vehicle (ex-Russian BMP) with troops embarked
and riding on top is targeted by forward air controllers (FAC's) of the US
Army, 4th Special Operations Group. A flight of two Navy F-14 Tomcats are
called in by the Army FAC's and strike the vehicle nearly simultaneously
with GBU-16 laser guided bombs. As a bonus, there is a nice secondary
explosion in the middle of the road, towards the end of the set.

I just hope the US can stop terrorism on the US, airplanes, allies, etc... 🙁

If this is what it takes, so be it... 🙁

What other app will open powerpoint presentations? I wish web sites and such would quit posting ppt files. Not everybody has or cares to have powerpoint installed. Oh well, I'm not bitter. 🙂

Edit: tgillitzr, you rock.

Edit2: Dear Jesus, that's f*cking sick. Death and destruction is a wonderful thing. Ughhh. :disgust:
 
I've seen this same video on several occasions over the last few years, and each time there is a different 'story'. This is NOT recent footage. It's actually from the Russian/Afganistan campaign in the 80's.
