Scout_51 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 here's a commercial break for a credit card that will remain nameless.. A True Story from Afghanistan So we are up in the mountains at about 0100 hrs looking for a bad guy that we thought was in the area. Here are ten of us, pitch black, crystal clear night, about 25 degrees. We know there are bad guys in the area, a few shots have been fired but no big deal. We decide that we need air cover and the only thing in the area is a solo B-1 bomber. He flies around at about 20,000 feet and tells us there is nothing in the area. He then asks if we would like a low level show of force. Stupid question. Of course we tell him yes. The controller who is attached to the team then is heard talking to the pilot. Pilot asks if we want it subsonic or supersonic. Very stupid question. Pilot advises he is twenty miles out and stand by. The controller gets us all sitting down in a line and points out the proper location. You have to picture this. Pitch black, ten killers sitting down, dead quiet and overlooking this about 30 mile long valley. All of a sudden, way out (below our level) you see a set of four 200' white flames coming at us. The controller says, "Ah-- guys-- you might want to plug your ears". Faster than you can think a B-1, supersonic, 1000' over our heads, blasts the sound barrier and it feels like God just hit you in the head with a hammer". He then stands it straight up with 4 white trails of flame coming out and disappears. Cost of gas for that: Probably $50,000 Hearing damage: For certain Bunch of ragheads thinking twice about shooting at us: Priceless. Quote
finiteless Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 An Aussie SAS patrol used a sonic boom tactically in Iraq's western desert. They came upon a grain silo, with infantry in it, presumably guarding the area. The SAS tried to get then to surrender, but got the inappropriate answer, so rather than level it with an air strike, they decided to try and preserve the grain silo, because people would really need it after the war, so they had an F-14 do a low-level supersonic flyby, and the Iraqis thought they were being bombed, so they came streaming out with their hands up disarming themselves. They were then allowed to go home, as the SAS were mobile and had no time or capacity to hold them as POWs, nor to off-load them to others. The Iraqis were shocked, not what they had been expecting at all. A lot cheaper than having to build a new food storage silo after the war. :) Quote
