Incoming: Azeri Mortar Position Struck By Armenian Mortar
Published 3 years ago
Video shows an Azerbaijani mortar team getting ready to conduct a fire mission against Armenian forces during the month-and-a-half-long war in the the Nagorno-Karabakh region when they themselves become the target of enemy mortar fire.
The gunner is recording data from the fire directional control center (FDC), and the ammo bearer attempts to grab and prep a round. Suddenly the screeching of an incoming high explosive mortar rounds sends them scrambling for cover.
The round hits close, but not close enough to inflict casualties. The gun team laughs as one of their buddies, probably returning from dropping his morning deuce, is sprinting in panic away from the point of impact.
