Hello all. This is real footage of a Canadian dismounted platoon of PPCLI being ambushed by some Taliban in Afghanistan recently. Some highlights:
1) A WO standing on top of a building firing a C6 machine gun from the hip;
2) Later in the video, when you hear one of the troops say something like "Yeah, let 'em have it" you are hearing the sound of the 25mm cannons on top of the LAVs opening up and laying out a healthy serving of ass-kicking...
Last Saturday I had a chance to meet three of the soldiers involved and get a more detailed description of what happened. End result? Zero Canadian dead, but not much left of the Taliban...
The website makes you sign up for a membership before it let's you watch the video, but it's free and the only info you have to provide is email address and postal code. Just enter 12345 for the postal code if you're not from the U.S.
And don't worry, there's no blood/guts in the video.
