A Senegalese pilot flying combat operations for the United Nations in Central Africa conducts a kinetic airstrike on a group of fighters in Central Africa.
When you're on the ground, there is nothing more terrifying than being on the receiving end of rotary-wing aircraft. Tanks and artillery fire can be scary, but gunfire from those usually cease after a short period of time, allowing you to re-maneuver around them. Rotary-wing aircraft however can linger for a while, and keep you pinned behind your cover until that cover drops on top of you.
This video shows a Senegalese pilot for the United Nations flying combat operations over the Central African Republic. Once he spots a group of militia fighters, he receives permission to begin hitting them with all of his weapon systems. The militiamen on the ground stood zero chance of retaliating.
