This video was taken from inside the cockpit of an A-10 Thunderbolt by the pilot. It was a night view, and what you see is from 9700 feet away. We don't know if this is Iraq or Afghanistan, sorry.
Four terrorists are walking along a street with no clue that someone is watching from almost 2 miles away in the dark. A hapless dog lingers to the right...
The A-10 utilizes a 30mm cannon that fires 3900 rounds per minute (65 per second) with a muzzle velocity of 3500 feet per second. 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; the thugs are "ventilated" with thousands of rounds. The result: four fewer scumbags to terrorize innocent people! We hope the dog was able to scamper to
safety...
