Danger close – A10 hits insanely close to British troops – Afghanistan 2007

The actual ‘danger close’ strafing run is at 0:23.
This is one of the rare examples of what it’s like to be on the receiving end of GAU-8’s DU rounds.
If anyone has better quality version of this video, please share.
“Faaaackinell”
Yeah we kew!
*brrrrrrrrrrrrt*
The A-10 was equipped with special Brit-seeking projectiles from 1990-2010
Alex, I’ll take Drone Support is superior to A10 for $200 please
A buddy I deployed with has shrapnel all up his back from one of those things during a previous tour.
Nicey shit himself.
Drama Queens
‘Knightsy did you shit yourself?’ brrrrrrrrrrrffft!!
Station, this is observer, we need a gun run right here, this location, over
…Blue on blue, BLUE ON BLUE, STOP
Do A-10 squadrons have a plaque for Blue-on-Blue incidences with the Brits? Or is it more of a mural they paint wherever they were stationed? Asking for a friend.
Holy shit that is terrifying
This looks like something you’d see in Call of Duty lol
I was like “wait that wasn’t that close, although this British grunt banter is fun to listen to JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.”
Yeah the A10 may be worse at close support than cheap drones with VOGs strapped to them but there’s something about that pure hell of DU showering from above that makes me love that fucking plane.
Pretty sure the A10 racked up double digit kills on brits from 1990-2010.
The cockpit vid of the incident where they strafed a Brit armoured column in the early 2000s is genuinely really sad
Something something Lazerpig
“Ahhh yeah, we’re cool!”
“ah pull back. PULL BACK!”
If you ever get to hear the BRRRRRR you survived.
I miss liveleak 🙁
Absolutely any combat footage involving Brits: “FAAACKKIN’ ‘ELLL!!!”
Lol, ripping the piss out of Nicey for nearly shitting himself and then he proceeds to thoroughly cake his kecks.
Each one of those hi-ex bullets is the equivalent of a hand grenade, all of those exploding in that strafing run. Holy shit.
Since it happened in 2007 i can call it a repost cuz someone somehow in this 17 years posted it on somewhere . though i cant prove it because of lack of evidence so yeah anyway cool!
It was incidents like this that led to the uk requesting the US not to send a-10’s as CAS during joint operations. It’s a memeable aircraft but good god was it terrible at its job.
A10 drivers never got the memo that the war with the Brit’s is over ?
Pretty sure the Canadians were on the wrong end of an A10 as well.
