Summary
Description Viking Vehicles Open Fire on Taliban Positions in Afghanistan MOD 45150643.jpg |
English:
Viking vehicles operated by men of the Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) engage enemy positions after coming under fire from compounds surrounding Checkpoint Yellow 7 on the Shamalan Canal. A .50 calibre round can be seen leaving the barrel of one of the vehicle mounted weapons.
During Operation Panchai Palang 2 (Panthers Claw), the men of 2 Company 1 Battalion Welsh Guards (2 Coy 1WG), occupied a compound overlooking Checkpoint Yellow 7, a volatile bridge crossing which had been denied to the insurgents by the introduction of obstacles and men.
