damn you could get killed without knowing a thing in a split second. you can't even peep an eye through the window. proves insurgents got their share of high tech gadgets as well.

i just wish we had some nicer technology like heat detecting scanners that could determine where the gunshot came from or something... our troops pretty much have nothing but their own two hands and a gun.

pretty amazing stuff, wonder if that bulletproof glass was installed by our troops or what.

We were using gunshot sensors when i was over there. You set up 3 of them within 1 kilometer and it tells you what type of bullet and an exact location of where it came from.

damn DTN, finally so good to know. excellent, i really hope they take a lot of precautions like that. did you have any similar instances?

problem these days is they're all dressed up as civilians, and/or have fled the country into another country and will reform. it'll never stop so that kind of technology is good to have 24/7 not only once.

I was not a scout or anything. I was a radar repairer. I had mortars and rockets fall near me as well as my truck getting blown up while I was in it. One that came through the roof of a iraqi barracks we took over was a dud and did not explode. We had mortars explode at least once a month around us. Rockets and mortars were tracked by the radar I maintained.

On a side note.. My radar came from the factory with a 20 meter of error tollerance(unclassified manufacturer specs). I kept that sucker constantly calibrated though, which was alot of work. I was doing weekly maintenance on it daily. One time after they shot 2 mortars at us, we returned fire with 16 rounds of artillery and 16 mortars (yeah overkill, arty is deadly to 300 meters). When our recon team went to the target site to retrieve the bodies, they used GPS, and reported the location of the mortar tube was within 1 meter of the grid my radar tracked.

daamn DTN... that had to be f*cking scary when you were in the truck. so glad you're ok, and everyone you were with presumably? that's an incredible story, so your hard work really paid off well. 1 meter is amazing precision. poor troops, i hope they have all the advantage they can get. that's a crazy ass story though... thanks for sharing that. i know it's hard to talk about stuff like that.
