All day long Russian TV reporters were running around Baghdad looking for American troops. I heard BBC team tried to find them too. >>>>
a unit of the 3rd div made a "recon in force*" thru bagdad, and returned to the airport, US 1 tank damaged, 1 troop kia , 3 wounded, , iraq lost app. 1000 men and many T72's, BMP's ,arty, etc
* reconnaissance in force: is a probe to check out the enemy strength, position, etc. Unlike a regular recon patrol, recon in force does not avoid contact with the enemy and brings enough guns to fight with.
no recon patrol is desigened to take or hold ground, only to test the enemy defenses.
thats why your stupid russian TV could not find them.
