[uspirate]

while some of us may not support the current military conflict. truth of the matter is that we're in it. this vid deplicts the actions of our military men and woman of the armed forces in action against the threats. you can see the RPG's being fired at the aircraft. good job guys & gals!

That looks very fake & more importantly sounds fake.

I used to process Spectre gunship footage back in the last popular war.

yeah, as nice as the audio is, it sounds more like a video game but the footage looks pretty good.

The give away is the first truck on site, it gets hammered first, then puff does a complete 360 of the area and there's the truck again untouched, we should've have seen the truck nice and white hot in the IR after being peppered

Church? Pine trees?

I don't know where or what that is, but it shows gunfire from a single chain gun on one helicopter.

That's not puff. A Herc can't hover, but it can literally sow a 100-yard wide field with thirty caliber rounds spaced every foot or two apart. When Puff comes around, it ain't for selective fire on single bad guys.

As the nursery rhyme about the plague goes, "Ashes, ashes, ALL FALL DOWN."

the gun cam shows 25mm, 40mm and 105 in the lower left so i'm stumped

Nice game...wonder which one it is.

Church?, Iraq? Recycled soundtrack?
It's a game there guys.
You are being a little naughty there Uspirate.

Some of the associated YouTube videos have exactly the same targets being engaged by a 105mm something.

Having flown in AC-130's (only on demo rides witht the Reserve in Florida, but over gun ranges), this isn't what it was like back in my day (25 years ago). Technology has improved so I could be wrong.
Back 'when' it was more area supression than individual target selection, the Gat's were 'fixed' and the fire control was analog.
