ACTUAL FILE FOOTAGE: US ARMY, DECEMBER 10, 2001 07:30
This was sent from a pilot aboard 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-Quaida 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-18 laser guided bombs. As a bonus, there is a nice secondary explosion in the middle of the road, towards the end of the set.
