The last time I was in London I was walking to the LIbyan embassy to get my visa, walking past amazing buildings built hundreds of years ago when I happened upon a school party.....my jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw there was just a single white kid in the group of 25+ kids Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,841 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Fair play they got the job done but it wasn't slick and smooth that's for certain ... a 4 man SAS team were dropped on the bridge by helicopter as that's where they thought they still were ... I bet they were fukcing tamping when they missed out lol ...... I read they were supported by an Apache too. I took it with a pinch of salt initially, 30mm cannons and hellfires probably being a tad excessive for centre of London like. Anyway, it was aparantly just for its recon systems, to relay information etc. Make a point mind you if they did let rip. LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 No mate ... but I've heard the phalanx hundreds of times as they were used in the desert to knock mortars and rockets out of the sky before they hit us in base and it sounds very similar ........ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are they directed by radar and do they work? You never read about these modern systems being used in books, same with electronic counter measures but I can see why that is. Those big guns are amazing, I could listen to them all day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 They are directed by radar but still need an operative sat with them to make sure of no computer error and they always hit ... unfortunately sometimes that's a bad thing ... we had a particular day in Iraq where we were hit with rocket attacks over twenty times in one day ( I spent more time on my belly than on my feet that day lol ) one of the rockets that came over was going to miss by a mile but the phalanx hit it and took the tail off it and it came down in camp and killed 4 Norwegian soldiers .... but on balance they saved hundreds more ......
