Night extraction under FLIR — insane pilot skill on full display. TADS/FLIR footage captures a CH-47 Chinook dropping onto a narrow ridge for a high-risk extraction, executing a textbook “pinnacle landing” in steep terrain. With the aircraft angled and barely holding position, troops rush to board as the crew... show more

This isn't a crash... it's one of the craziest cargo delivery methods ever invented. You're watching a C-130 Hercules perform LAPES (Low-Altitude Parachute Extraction System), flying just a few feet above the ground while extraction parachutes rip a multi-ton armored vehicle straight out of the cargo ramp... without the aircraft ever stopping. Designed to resupply frontline troops when landing wasn't an option, LAPES demanded extraordinary precision. A mistake of only a few feet or knots could end in disaster. The C-130 has been doing the impossible for over 70 years, and it's still one of the world's most versatile military transport aircraft. 🎥: C130TheHerc

A neighborhood effort to remove a bear from a tree in Arizona, turned slapstick as one of the rescue crew toppled onto the tranquilized bear after it hit a tarp stretched out to catch it. The bear proved heavier than expected, hitting the ground and causing one of the crew to fall on top of the tranquilized animal. Police said the bear was safely relocated after the clumsy extraction from the tree.

Hello, Aji Bussu Onye Mpiawa azụ 🇨🇮 I know your years in Military kitchen, lack of combat experience and overdose of Hollywood military movies has affected your brain.. But here is a quick one . That “danfo landing” you’re mocking is a textbook tactical rapid insertion/extraction on a hot LZ. In military aviation, utility helicopters operating in COIN environments , pilots deliberately execute steep, high-rate descents followed by quick power-on touchdowns precisely to minimize dwell time on the ground. Every extra second the aircraft sits there is an invitation for small arms or RPG fire. The goal isn’t comfort or aesthetics, it’s survivability and mission accomplishment…The aircraft (Bell UH-1 series) is rugged by design for exactly these austere, rapid operations. Different landing profiles exist for different threat levels and terrain: administrative landings for admin moves, tactical ones when you expect contact. Timing and coordination under pressure are exactly what they’re training and displaying. Now for the Hostage Extraction .One team moves to secure/extract the target while the other fans out to establish local security and provide suppressive/overwatch fire. You’ll see the same doctrine in every professional army that integrates helicopters with infantry. I know you just have to hate the Nigeria military to make yourself feel good, you need The constant yapping to impress your ignorant follows . But atleast Educate yourself .

A critical missing autistic child, alone and partially in the water, with time running out. It was our Aviation Unit—“Guardian”— crew that spotted the child in the darkness and guided PGPD officers on the ground in for a safe recovery. That moment didn’t just save a life. It made history. At the Airborne Public Safety Convention in Phoenix, our aircrew—Mr. Bo Corser and CPL Chris Elrod—were honored with the Life Saver Award, making Prince George’s County Police the first agency in the world to earn FLIR Vision Awards in every major category. This isn’t about accolades—it’s about lives saved, families reunited, and a team that’s First to Serve. 💙 On behalf of our aircrew, Teledyne FLIR donated $1,000 to the National Autism Association—a gesture as meaningful as the award itself. #FirstToServe #PGPD #Guardian #FLIRVisionAwards #ExcellenceInAction #Aviation

AH-64 Apache Gunships Engage Insurgents Threatening Convoy – Iraq (2008) TADS/FLIR footage shows two AH-64D Apache gunships providing close air support to a convoy under fire. Insurgents are identified on elevated terrain, attempting to ambush from ridgelines and rocky cover. One Apache engages the main group while the wingman suppresses additional fighters, maintaining constant overwatch in a coordinated “racetrack” pattern. The 30mm chain gun delivers precise fire, neutralizing targets at distance. A clear example of coordinated CAS dominating the battlefield and protecting ground forces.

Absolute disaster for the Pentagon. A Top Iranian Commander claims US forces attempted a massive extraction with C130s and choppers but were completely immobilized. Iranian troops disabled the aircraft, forcing Washington to bomb their own planes and flee in total defeat.

Extraordinary footage captures the moment a helicopter experiences an engine failure and crashes onto a sandy beach along Kauai's iconic Nāpali Coast. 🤯🤯🤯 At the 9-second mark, the engine abruptly shuts off, and the audible beeping serves as a warning of the engine's power loss. With remarkable skill, the pilot guides the helicopter towards the beach, executes a crash landing on the sand, and miraculously saves the lives of all four passengers. From engine failure to crash landing, the entire sequence unfolds in under 30 seconds.

Occupation channels confirm their forces have fallen into a massive ambush in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood east of Gaza City, with heavy gunfire still echoing through the area. Military analysts note the night sky lit with intense flares, low-flying helicopters, and concentrated aerial cover, classic markers of a force extraction under duress. In operational terms, this isn’t an advance, it’s a scramble to pull units out before they’re overrun. The close air support pattern, combined with the timing of the flares, points to a Hannibal Protocol activation, an admission that a capture is either underway or imminent. The resistance isn’t breaking contact; they’re holding the fight at close range, dictating the tempo, and forcing the occupier into the most dangerous posture: retreat under fire. This is Al-Zaytoun turned into a kill box, ambush lines seeded in advance, exit routes pre-sighted, and every extraction attempt met with coordinated fire to ensure the cost in men and morale is steep.

AH-64D Apache Tracks and Engages Taliban Armed with RPGs Using FLIR/TADS, the crew observes a group of seven individuals on the ground, with at least two identified carrying RPGs. The pilots confirm the presence of weapons and maintain surveillance as the group begins to move. After requesting clearance, the crew is authorized to engage. The Apache opens fire with its 30mm chain gun from standoff range, tracking the group in the open. A delay follows between firing and impact, with explosions and dust marking where rounds strike the target area. The engagement concludes with a brief assessment as movement ceases.

Blackwater Little Bird MEDEVAC - Baghdad, Iraq 2007 On October 3, 2007, Polish Ambassador Edward Pietrzyk was severely wounded in a coordinated IED and gunfire ambush in Baghdad, leaving him trapped inside a burning vehicle. With the situation critical, Blackwater MH-6 Little Bird helicopters were dispatched for an emergency extraction, landing in a tight urban street surrounded by poles and overhead wires. With almost no margin for error, the pilot sets it down under extreme conditions to evacuate the wounded ambassador. The high-risk MEDEVAC is completed successfully, getting him to a U.S. military hospital in time.

US Troops Call in Airstrike on Taliban Sniper Positions – Afghanistan Raw footage captures U.S. forces coming under heavy fire from Taliban snipers positioned on a hillside. High-caliber rounds crack overhead as troops take cover and identify enemy movement across a nearby valley. With one man injured and the unit pinned down, coordinates are called in for air support. Precision strikes follow, walking onto the target before multiple bombs hit the sniper positions. A decisive strike that silences the threat and ends the engagement.

🚨🇺🇸 “WE KNEW WHERE HE WAS, THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING HIM OUT” Former U.S. Navy Intel Officer Malcolm Nance says that even with exact coordinates, rescuing a downed pilot can turn into a high-risk operation, as helicopters and aircraft can get damaged during early attempts. Terrain, enemy presence, and possible injuries can quickly complicate what sounds straightforward on paper. So finding the pilot isn’t the challenge, the extraction is where things fall apart.
