Wow, that sounds almost as good as "New & Improved"[:D] You might have a future in marketing. |

So did they fuck the towel heads up after that? |

Nice vid. I'm trying to figure out which base that is. I took a couple videos like that near Khowst. The QRF at that base got out the gate quick too, you can hear them on the radio. Unless they were already going out. Good shit.

So what was that, mortar fire? It looked like they were adjusting fire.

Mortars don't whistle when they're inbound. Those were most likely rockets......105mm at least.
A few things to note: 1. It took 1 round for them to adjust fire onto the base. 2. It took only 1 minute 41 seconds for counterbattery fire to splash on a target of some kind. They must have had firefinder radars to nail down a firing position so quickly. 3. We see the Taliban firing single rounds.....then we see how effective our batteries are. 6 or more on the target (mountain) in just 15 seconds. I don't think anyone in that base was really pissing their pants.....If I were the taliban I'd be pissing hardcore at the quickness and accuracy of our counter-battery fires. |

Quoted: Excellent footage, I'd really like to know what happened next. Anyone else have any amateur video from the battlefield? I have no idea what happened next but I can guess. About a minute after the first shells hit the counter artillery radar got a fix on the position and started a firing solution. About a minute after that shells landed on and near the idiots that launched the attack, spreading them all over the rocks. A fix was taken on the position and a C130 Spectre gunship flew over that night and popped every cave, hole and ditch for a mile and then flew home to some beer. At least I HOPE that's what happened..... |

I think they had three rounds impact outside the base before they got adjusted onto target--one before the clip started, which was the cue to start filming, then two outside the wire perimiter.
Interesting that they did it during day. |

Damed Taliban/al Quedea don't know squat about fire finder radar. Too bad. Steel on target before they could get a fix with their arty. Its no surprise they snapped like glass rods.
I give them an "E" for effort. And an "F" for not surrendering in October. If it were 105 rockets, I suppose the chalklines would have given away the position, no? |

Quoted: If it were 105 rockets, I suppose the chalklines would have given away the position, no? Katusha's don't give off smoke when they fire. I highly doubt they have towed guns. Definately no SP. Rate of fire would be higher for mortars. No sound signature for mortars...... I vote either improvised rocket or Katusha. |

Sorry, what I meant was that we had a fire-finder radar in that base or there was a forward ARTY spotter connected to a battery for fire support at that base. One guy remarks, "they have better eyes than we do" when they start talking about our own fire splashing on that mountainside. |

Quoted: Mortars don't whistle when they're inbound. Those were most likely rockets......105mm You are correct. Well, they're actually 107mm rockets. That firebase looks like Organ-E out by the Pakistan boarder. I flew into it a few times.... anyway, The Taliban lean the rocket shells up against sandbags and set a timer. by the time they go off they're long gone over the Paki boarder. In the middle of my rotation they started to find "trays" for the rockets. When I first got in country I'd hear an explosion and look at a budy with a question mark on my face. He said "don't worry, you'll know when it's a rocket attack." Sure enough once we got one it's a sound I'll never forget. And you sure as hell do know when it's a Rocket attack. DG84 |

I don't think these were set by a timer though. They bracketed the target and then the rest went in the compound then stopped shortly after the counter battery.

Very cool...and very high pucker factor.
So I'm sitting here watching this video and when I heard the second round of incoming fire approaching, I shouted "INCOMING" just on reflex. One of the scientists down the hall, like me a vet of many moons, a EE PhD and former USMC Force Recon with lots of Vietnam trigger time, came rushing down to my office and told me that he heard the sound, my outburst and was looking for a place to hide under his desk! We watched the flic and he said it remined him of training missions at 29 Stumps...but it was nothing like a barrage in the triple canopy of the jungle. I guess he figgered that somebody over on the MCB had let one get away (Our office is in Quantico Town). We are heavy into the radar gig here at my office (I happen to have a test plan for a type of fire finder radar right here on my desk.)...and we're pretty much convinced that our guys had their FF radars up and operating when the bad guys started firing. Our response was good. I suspect that very soon after this video was over, a combined arms team of air assets, arty and grunts went out, found and killed those rats. Gotta love those grunts. Pretty cool dudes. |

Bulldog, SNorman and tivoli410 thanks for the offers. I'm in the process of trying to combine it all into one tape. A lot of it is kind of repetitive, like the daily prescence patrols and the guys just f'in around. If I ever get it done I'll shoot you an email.

Does anyone know how accurate the counter battery radar systems are? Can they pin point the enemy fire with enough detail that the incoming friendly rounds have any chance of success?

I know the Q36 we used was pretty damn accurate. Enough to make a FFE effective enough to stop an attack. They have a problem with really high angle stuff though. I'm not an expert by any means, so I don't know why.

Near the very end of the video:
"We've obviously been pissin' somebody off these past few days." May God bless and keep our fighting men and women as they continue their work to eradicate the enemies of freedom everywhere. I really felt sorry for these guys loading up their vehicle, apparently in the middle of nowhere with no cover at all. Some tough motherfuckers, there, folks. |
