Before I got there was the first ever engagement using night vision goggles.

It was one of our unit guys, little bird gun.

They've stone cold caught the Iranians dropping the tail on this bog hammer, I think they were called, on video.

And there's a mine, and they're pushing it off.

And of course, you got to get frigging permission from the head shed all the way back in D.C.

You know, like, are you sure?

Yeah, we're sure.

It's Iranian.

They're putting a mine in the ocean.

Okay, take them out.

And it was the Iran-Ajar was the name of the boat.

And the steering wheel for the Iran-Ajar is still hanging in the regimental headquarters at the unit.

And there were survivors.

And one of the survivors, so one of the rockets configurations for our 2.75-inch rockets is a flechette.

It has 2,000 little darts in it, basically.

And it flies out, I don't remember what distance, maybe 400 meters.

The nose cone opens, and these darts go out, and you hit a much broader area.

Obviously, you're not going to take out an armored vehicle with it, but if you're trying to take out

you know, troops in the open or whatever, it's a very effective weapon.

And one of the guys, one of the Iranians, had a flechette in his face when he got captured.
