CH1098: Thunderbolt Reversal

The NNS Benue sent a crew of 2 A-10 Thunderbolt Attack jets to assist the HI-Def Soln, Somalia's 'affiliate militia', the Somali Youth Army's Forward Operating Base in Kismayo.

The Thunderbolt crew flew in from the coast where they approached the Forward Operating Base which was not far from the Kismayo harbour, not too far itself from the coastline.

The Pilot of Thunderbolt 1 saw an Armour Personnel Carrier breech the FOB's controlled entry point and open fire on the friendlies with its 30mm autocannon gun.

Without wasting time, the pilot locked on one of his jet's AGM-65 missiles onto the APC and fired.

(AGM – Air-to-Ground Missiles)

BOOM!

The missile exploded by the undercarriage of the Armoured vehicle, disabling the APC.

At the same time, Thunderbolt 2 locked on his jet's AGR-20 APKWS rockets onto the Technicals on the field.
