Canadians Ambushed At Close Range
Published 3 years ago
International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) helmet cam footage from Kandahar shows Canadian troops of 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (3PPCLI) ambushed by Taliban forces at close range while on a dismounted patrol.
The video begins with a foreshadowing prediction by one of the soldiers who has a gut feeling of imminent danger as he says, "...good place to get ambushed." Within minutes, the patrol is engaged by the enemy who initiates with a rocket propelled grenade (RPG). Luckily the warhead misses and sails past the soldiers.
The Canadians return fire in an attempt to suppress the Taliban. They continue keeping their foe pinned down until close air support arrives and destroys the enemy targets.
