Anyone know the casualties for the US side? Seems like they got directly hit by RPG, bailed out and ran in the open to get hit again. That’s a pretty damn good ambush.

Talking to himself: “Mohammed, go get ’em.”
So what’s the Coalition strategy here? It looks like some of the soldiers dismounted but the supply trucks (?) kept on driving, which I guess makes sense since they’re unarmoured and can’t defend themselves.

Damn what a horrible spot to be ambushed in. Absolutely no cover at all

I’m sure being on the receiving end fucking sucked, but that audio has been tampered with to make it sound more intense. Hear how its just one a continued flow even when the image cuts to another angle?

Nowadays, the ambush would be spotted miles away with drones and quickly intercepted.

Those friggin’ switchbacks in the road just repeatedly provide the Taliban with near perfect enfilade. What a nightmare.

It’s an old repost. He had lovely hair, and was really chill before the ambush.

Could you have just cut to the intense part? I don’t get that “Network television b-roll at the beginning because they didn’t realize it was live” time back. 🖕🏼

I don’t think the time frame for the video is correct. At 17 seconds I see what appears to be a Cougar MRAP. I don’t think the US was fielding MRAP’s in Afghanistan yet as of the early aughts.

How long until thermal drones that can dock with their vehicle for recharge make ambushes much harder if flown in an advance scout capacity? I could see columns having multiple operators to check flanks and forward of coloumn while on the move. Might not help with IEDs but it could remove the element of surprise.

That terrain is absolutely perfect for ambushes like these. It must have been a huge factor in their continued resistance.

Any KIA?

Anyone else remember seeing this same video in training leading up to deployment? Looks familiar.

Gotta respect the fighting spirit of these people. No proper training, old used guns, no PPE, just basic clothing, sandals and an AK/RPG

“Gotta look good, before i go into battle”.
If I die, I’ll die pretty.
