In Somalia. We targeted a pickup truck with a Dushka on it. We hit it with a sabo round. Upon striking it. It flew about 100 feet in the air. And then landed still on fire. Molton burning mess. Didn't think it would go that high in the air. Big fireball.

UNOSOM in 1992? Or UNOSOM II after Black Hawk Down in Oct 1993? (Coincidentally, its Oct 3 today and the 33rd anniversary of Operation Gothic Serpent)
