I did a bit of editing on this account (in italics) I'm not so sure I would be too proud of this.
From the pilots account:
After identifying more than 60 vehicles, he spotted a
further three "uniform shaped dark green vehicles". (hmmmm, I guess everyone better think twice about driving their SUV's looks like they may be fair game in a war)
"I work my way back up to the road and saw another
house that had just been set ablaze and a three-vehicle
convoy moving south-east about a click (kilometre) from
the freshest burning house," he said.
"They come to a stop at the next
house down the road.
"I am convinced now the VJ and MUF
(army and military police) forces are
working their way down towards Djakovica and the
refugees and are preparing to set this next house on
fire." (Convinced? Really? )
Activating targeting equipment, the pilot said he made
several passes over the vehicles "to ensure that they are
in fact military vehicles". )(Ensure? Since we now know that they were in fact NOT military vehicles, how did he go about "ensuring" this to his satisfaction? WAG?)
"I roll in on two passes to get
a close look both with my
eyeballs and my targeting
pod," he said
"I make a decision at that
point (garbage in, garbage out) that these are the
people responsible for
burning down the villages that
I have seen so far.
"I roll in, put my system on
the lead vehicle and execute
a laser-guided bomb attack
on that vehicle destroying the lead vehicle."
He said that the aircraft were then low on fuel and had to
pull out of the area. (Ooops, haste makes waste?)
He then described how he passed on the target
co-ordinates and a general description of the vehicles to
another pilot who then also attacked. |
