| This video was taken in Afghanistan by the pilot of an American A-10 fighter from the cockpit camera.
It was a night view. What you see is from 9700 feet away (almost two miles). Four innocent people are walking along a street with no clue that someone is watching them....... from almost 2 miles away.
Such was the accuracy of the A-10 30 mm cannon that it engaged the people WITHOUT injuring the dog nearby which as you can see, escaped unharmed. You can see the gun camera shake a bit as the pilot fires; then count about 4 seconds for the rounds to travel 2 miles.
Every tenth round is a tracer, so the bullets you actually see are every tenth; Muzzle velocity of the 30mm cannon is 2430 feet per second..
Even then these guys are not winning!!!! |
