Allah Ack-bang!

Although it's not just Achmed who makes mistakes, it's just he generally kills himself doing them, we learnt to stop doing a long time ago:

"Mr. Achmed, sir? I have good news: your application for transfer from the Artillery to the Suicide Corps has been granted...effective immediately."

And for those videos...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Heh.. leads creedence to the old phrase... "Stuff happens" :p

I assume you were peeking when you verified this statement? :p

In all fairness Low Altitude Parachute Extractions (LAPES) have never been a completely reliable means for delivering stuff to the battlefield. It's been a long time since i had to know this but iirc it has an average success rate somewhere around 80-90%.

His 72 virgins will be some nuns armed with baseball bats!:yep:

That kind of thing used to be called "The fog of war" and sadly it has happened to every military in every war throughout history.

That's Hollywood.. If you hear the shells it usually means the shells missed and went over head. Your typical artillery shell is supersonic, so it goes faster then the sound it makes. The only time you would hear it before it hit you is if it were subsonic.

It's still a fantastic idea, when it works :up:

What annoys me about this video is the intro written by the poster of the video. Basically saying it happened because of not having 21st century equipment but relying on dayglo panels. Dayglo panels are simple and unjambable.....

It was a screw up, as happens. Would it have not happened had they been in radio contact?

The comments then written by youtube users are embarrassing to me a Brit.

Dont pay attention to youtube comments, it is only a hares breath away from being
/b/. I actualy wonder how some of those people manage to not forget reathing while typing, their multitasking skills must be leet.

Fixed for you :p now inhale... :)
