Aussie Gun Truck Rocked By Taliban IED
Published 2 years ago
Video submitted to us by an Australian veteran shows the moment his gun truck was hit by a command detonated IED in the Mirabad Valley of Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan in 2011.
The improvised explosive device was keenly hidden on a bridge choke point and a marker is visible. Our source, the driver of the vehicle, expressed how lucky his crew commander was to not be seriously wounded while standing out of the cupola at the time of the blast.
The Australian troops were part of Mentoring Task Force Three (MTF-3), Combat Team Alpha, who interoperated closely with Afghan troops in an attempt to teach them self sufficiency.
