Well....

My take is;

I didn’t see but 2 guys with AK’s and one possibly with a machine gun or hes just really short ( he is standing next to someone a lot taller and when he put the butt of the weapon down it stood up looked like a MG.

There is no way I see a man with an RPG. I think the vid is clear enough. The guy at the corner crouching down, had a large long lens camera against his chest, there is no round in the “rpg” , it would be clearly seen as it is conical and comes to a point, an RPG is approx. 4 feet long, has a overhead/side mounted sight and a bulbous rear end....when they initially walked up the street before the chopper went behind the building and lost them for a second there is NO RPG visible, anywhere, I don’t know how the pilot made that leap. No one is wearing a bandoleer with rpg rounds, or any web gear for that matter.

The pilot also said he had a guy shooting just before they move behind the building, I didn’t see any muzzle flashes, smoke or recoil.

The audio appears incongruous to me actually, something’s off.


I played it a coupla of times without the audio, if I had to make a call what I was watching sans audio, I’d say they thought these guys on the street had intel on an ambush or something going down, were going to observe an ambush or IED explosion via ambush and were setting up for a camera shot. They wanted to take them out as sympathizers/collaborators etc.

All after the initial firing etc. well, the van is unmarked and could have been pulling up to render assistance and had hostile intent, having kids in the van rolling up to an area that just scant moments before had been hit, is, well beyond stupid, they apparently didn’t see or hear what hit the other grp. and did not even stop to think the chopper or whatever had done that damage was still in the area? Tragic, and it could have been avoided by at least, dumping the kids off further back.
