So much lie about "freedom of speech/Information" in the USA :
It seems that all the advanced technology of the oil-hungry-coalltion can't deal even with Russian weapon from 1950. Nice one, America.
those crappy old RPG-7s they use (and what many armies still use) are crude and not all-too-accurate --especially longer range... but when they do hit --then yes, they cause sufficient damage. And this Chinook made a mistake by coming in hot and fully loaded, low approach.
as per reports, the aircraft was hit by several on-target shots. It wasnt just one guy on the ground shooting a single round for the kill.
it was a textbook ''LURE & AMBUSH''
In case it has not been pointed out yet, the PA has also suffered chopper and troop losses from occasional 'lucky' RPG hits and AA Guns.
I don't really see this particular incident as that 'unusual'.
from what i read, the taleban insurgents found some way to disseminate ''misinformation'' which ended up reaching NATO forces through some kind of channels.
''some kind of channel'' has to be a US paid informant acting as a double agent.
That is one of the biggest problems the US hasn't been able to get a handle on. They don't have anyone in the population that they can trust. It makes their intelligence unreliable and thus many of their operations counter-productive.
off topic, but remember this? :
CIA base bomber 'was double agent' - Central & South Asia - Al Jazeera English
Afghanistan is hell on earth for anybody and everybody who tries or has tried to militarily occupy it. If not initially......then at least eventually!
history has shown this...
I don't believe Afghanistan is UNconquerable but it's definitely not a good idea by any stretch.
