Ossi Vaananen Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Taliban better develop some surface to air missiles then, RPGs won't cut it against a full flight attack helicopter. Best of luck to Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 the dumbest thing, was British news papers announcing to the world that Prince Harry arrived in Afhganistan for duty. That was by far the worst mistake ever. Don't get me wrong, the Apache is a world class helicopter, (hes expected to fly it for his missions, it can apparently take a hit by rpg's) but still.... But cmon.. letting the world know Price Harry has arrived???? Cmon. Worst thing ever. He either wants attention or I don't know. Taliban is extremely unlikely to even go near him. Prince Harry is probably teamed up with members of SAS disguising as "normal" troops. Cmon, you really gonna let Prince Harry fight a long regulars?? YOu better f in team him up with SAS units. That being said, epic fail on their end for letting the world know, If i was the Taliban, I would say exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I doubt Harry will be in real danger. He will pbbly be kept close to the base. Perhaps flying the perimeter to do base security. It would be stupid to send him into actual battle and have the Taliban kill the 3rd in line to the British Throne. It would be too much of a propaganda coup for the Taliban and Western commanders will not risk something like this. Over the course of the war Taliban have shot down a few Choppers but that usually happened when the chopper was flying into a battle to re supply, reinforce or evacuate troops, ie: Seal Team 6 Chopper that was shot down.

YaK Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The British kept Harry out of Iraq due to similar threats made in that theatre... so who knows, they might keep him out of this fight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The Afghans have plenty of experience with surface to air missiles, see - Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamero89 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Still there would be hundreds of aircraft's, what are the odds they shoot one down, let alone the one that has him in it. They said this to get attention, around a certain date. They succeeded. Ignoring their threats is the best thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well, they came pretty close. Taliban attacked the shared British - US base where Harry is stationed. He was unharmed. however the Taliban did kill 2 soldiers and destroyed 5 aircraft and damaged a few more. wo Marines were killed and several more injured when Afghan militants armed with rocket propelled grenades and small arms breached the perimeter of the main U.S. Marine base in southern Afghanistan, following a rocket and mortar attack on the base that is shared with British forces. Five aircraft were destroyed and three more damaged during an attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
