I guess it was a bad day to take a ride in an Afghan tank. Read the note
below.
< This was just sent to me by a friend on the USS John C. Stennis. He
< was
the
< strike element lead on this attack, and received these pictures as a
"thank
< you" from the US Army controllers on the ground. It is an excellent
example
< of a joint, combined arms operation.
<
< A Taliban/ al-Qaida armored vehicle (ex-Russian BMP) with troops
< embarked and riding on top is targeted by forward air controllers
< (FAC's) of the US Army, 4th Special Operations Group. A flight of two
< Navy F-14 Tomcats are called in by the Army FAC's and strike the
< vehicle nearly simultaneously with GBU-16 laser guided bombs. As a
< bonus, there is a nice secondary explosion in the middle of the road,
< towards the end of the set.
