Marines Engage Taliban Machine Gunner Hiding in Long Grass
Published 3 years ago
A Marine Corps foot patrol finds themselves decisively engaged by a well concealed Taliban machine gunner. They return fire through the grass with overwhelming firepower.
The first rule of an ambush is establish fire superiority. The second rule of an ambush is to maintain fire superiority and turn the tides on your attacker. This video shows Marines on a foot patrol doing just that when they get ambushed by a well-placed Taliban PKM gunner.
This video ends entirely too early, but I'm fairly certain that this ambush was that PKM gunner's last. If anyone that was a part of this firefight would like to chime in down in the comments section, we would love to hear from you.
