Backpack IED Detonates after Apache Opens Fire
Published 3 years ago
Two Apaches watch as an airstrike is called in on a group of AQI insurgents moving IEDs out in the open. When they open fire on some of the squirters, they get a bit of a surprise.
I've always been amazed at how cool, calm, and collected pilots are. If it had been me in this scenario, I don't know if I would have been able to contain my excitement. Meanwhile, these pilots are just chilling in their airframes, watching some al-Qaeda in Iraq dudes get absolutely smashed, then following up that smashing with a bit of smashing of their own.
Hell, even when one of the AQI fighters sympathetically detonates because his backpack was full of explosives, we barely get a reaction out of them. It's probably why I never became a pilot, but if it had been me watching this happen, the comms wouldn't have sounded nearly as cool or professional as these guys.
