recieving end of arties
« on: April 12, 2009, 11:10:03 AM »
I found this vid on liveleak, it's basically baddies did some of their arties. Then sometime later, a few minutes? the coalition forces zeroed in and return w/ some arty. It's safe for work ! It just looks pretty damn cool from the recieving end just because well hopefully no one will ever be in the recieving end !

That has to be one of the most menacing sounds when on the battle field:

This one is better.  Although I think it is mortars coming at them and not artillery shells.

Fourth or fifth shell was a dud.

I'm assuming it was American counter-fire, as we have the largest military presence "over there".

The smaller ones make more of a "wheeee" sound. The big ones make a "FROOOOM", and hearing that is bad news  :devil
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Looked to me like the safest place for those guys to be was right next to the mortar.  Lots of stuff getting blown up...like trees and stuff.  The Taliban appear to be just fine though.
