Just found a link to this on Froggy Ruminations
This is actual video of a missile attack on Iraqi insurgents as viewed from the cockpit of a U.S. fighter jet over Fallujah.
U.S. Special Forces "Ninja" night stalkers on the ground in Fallujah during the night discovered a meeting at a protected mosque of followers of cleric Al-Sadyr. A mission to attack coalition forces with machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, and road-side bombs was being planned by the insurgents in the mosque. The Special Forces Ninjas called in an air strike request to Air Force fighter jets and AWAC aircraft on patrol.
In this video, the fighter arrives overhead. The group of well-armed bad guys is seen leaving the mosque in total darkness at 3:15 AM. They first appear on the right side of the image, just above center, as they are pouring out of the building and onto the road. The imagery is adjusted to center the group in the cross-hairs.
As the air support arrives, the U.S. ground team clandestinely "paints" the group with hand-held lasers. This enables the fighter aircraft's missile guidance system to target the group, as can be seen from the cross-hairs in the video. The large white dot is the intersection of the laser beam with the target group.
You will see the aircraft, from which the low-light-level video is being captured, reposition 180 degrees to get into firing position. The missile is fired, and the enemy group obliterated. In the audio, you can also hear the brief conversation between the aircraft pilot and the ground forces.
