Jihad? How’s that working out for you guys?

The A-10 aircraft’s design is amazing. The 30mm cannon is located off center in the nose and the aircraft’s ammo is capable of penetrating an armored tank. Fuel tanks are self sealing in case of a hit. The aircraft can stop within 1500 feet upon landing. ¶
This video was taken from inside the cockpit of an A-10 by the pilot. It was a night view. What you see is from 9700 feet away (almost two miles). Four terrorists are walking along a street with no clue that someone is watching them from almost 2 miles away. ¶
You can see the gun camera shake a bit as the pilot fires his 30 mm cannon; then count about 4 seconds for the rounds to travel 2 miles. Every tenth round is a tracer, so the bullets you actually see are every tenth; they are getting hit with hundreds of rounds. ¶
