Thanks.

Anyone?

48
as the entirety of the second ACR moves through the sandstorm in a miles long formation, pushing into the unknown.
49
McMaster hunkers down observing the battlefield with his thermal sight, but nothing appears.
50
Suddenly there are loud explosions up ahead.
51
McMaster and the rest of his men sweep the area with their binoculars and thermals.
52
There are no contacts, but they quickly find the source.
53
Its airburst artillery exploding in the air and raining shrapnel all across the ground.
54
McMaster doesn't need to say anything.
55
All on their own the Bradleys and Abrams break the line to drive around the area of impact.
56
A sense of pride fills McMaster.
57
His boys are acting exactly as they've been trained.
58
The artillery is evaded and the line reforms as they push on.
59
It's not long before something else catches his eye.
60
Figures emerge through the haze.
61
Buildings.
62
McMaster narrows his eyes, thinking, this village looks off.
63
There's no farm, pen or any type of infrastructure to sustain a home.
64
This, he thinks, must be an Iraqi outpost.
65
Village, direct front.
66
One round, heat at my command!
67
The loader slams the high explosive anti-tank shell into the breach to the breach.
68
The anti-tank component won't be of much use, Up!
69
but the explosives are exactly what they need.
70
Ready?
71
Report.
72
The tank's massive 120mm gun aims square at the structures.
73
But McMaster doesn't fire just yet.
74
He waits as his line gets closer, looking for civilians.
75
Up and down the line the rest of the tanks prepare to level the position.
76
But still they wait, for they see no evidence that the buildings belong to anyone at all.
77
Suddenly muzzle flashes shine from the windows and low-caliber bullets start raining down on the armored vehicles.
78
Fire!
79
Fire!
80
McMaster's Abrams opens fire with a thunderous explosion.
81
The round flies through the air, its aim impeccable.
82
It hits a wall and detonates, reducing the building to rubble.
83
The impact marks the target for the eight other battle tanks and their guns aim at the same construction.
84
Ready?
85
Fire!
86
The Nine Abrams fire almost in unison with a deafening blast.
87
In an instant the buildings explode into a cloud of rubble and dust, violently silencing the small arms fire.
88
Meanwhile on the very edge of their formation, Bradleys, Eagle 13 and 16,
89
spot two Iraqi T-72s sitting in ambush with their thermal viewfinders.
90
Do we engage?
91
Chills traveled down the spine of the vehicle commanders.
92
Why are they still… I don't think they see us.
93
Had the sandstorm not been covering their advance, they were unlikely to have won this showdown.
94
But as it is, the enemy's lack of thermals keeps them blind from the storm, while the Bradleys can see them, crystal clear.
95
The Bradleys turret spins to face the enemy, a pair of tow anti-tank missiles at the ready.
96
The missile fires off its launcher, pulling a spool of wire along with it.
97
From inside the gunner keeps its crosshairs on the enemy tank,
98
the computer guiding the missile through the wire and keeping it flying straight on the crosshair.
99
From the sight it looks like licks of flame hanging in the air for a few fleeting moments.
100
The T-72 detonates with force as its turret flies sky high.
101
It detonates with force as its turret flies sky-high.
102
The second Bradley fires off a second missile aimed for the remaining enemy.
103
The Iraqi crew barely reacted to the destruction of their companion when they meet the same fate.
104
The turret of this T-72 came off and was flipping like a bottle cap in the air, and when it landed, the whole thing burst into flames.
105
I remember thinking, holy, how can a piece of metal burn like that?
106
The troop resumes the advance, leaving behind T-72 wrecks and the obliterated buildings.
107
Two enemy tanks on the left flank, target's eliminated.
108
McMaster knows these two tanks couldn't be alone, and senses that they're about to find exactly who they're looking for.
109
Red one, this is black six, swapping the tank lead, I repeat, changing to tank lead.
110
The Bradbees slow to a stop and allow the better armored Abrams tanks to go first.
111
They form into an arrow formation with McMaster proudly leading in the middle.
112
They reach their target of the 70th Easting, but McMaster has a small crest up ahead blocking their view.
113
In flat terrain like this even small crests are crucial for visibility, so without orders he pushes on just a little more.
114
As Abrams climbs the hill and rolls over the top of the crest.
115
Looking through his thermal sight, he watches as dozens of heat signatures come into view all at once.
116
They instantly meet a wall of dug-in armor, trenches and anti-tank weapons, all facing their advance.
117
Tanks, direct front!
118
It's a horrifying sight.
119
The plan of not engaging the enemy has gone straight out the window.
120
Fire, fire, sabot!
121
Heat already loaded.
122
The crosshairs immediately land on a T-72 1.4 kilometers away and the Abrams fires the first shot of Battle 73 Easting.
123
But to McMaster's surprise, the giant line of Iraqi defense does not immediately retaliate.
124
In the storm, the Iraqi tanks are completely blind
125
and have no idea about the multiple Abrams actively rolling over their defensive embankment just a few hundred meters away.
126
They scramble to respond, crews running for their tanks, diving into trenches and fleeing to the rear.
127
It's chaos.
128
Load shaboat!
129
Up!
130
Fire!
131
The armor-piercing fin, stabilized, discarding sabot round fires off the Abrams barrel, the surrounding sabot peeling off.
132
Please support the channel, comment, like and subscribe on this video.
133
Releasing a massive depleted uranium dart traveling 1575 meters every second.
134
It slams square on the enemy and it bursts into flames, cutting through the armor like butter and setting it aflame.
135
McMaster continues to roll forward as the rest of his troop appears behind him.
136
Abrams' tanks open fire indiscriminately as the T-72s start to fight back.
137
Rounds crash into the earth and zip over the Americans' heads.
138
McMaster's driver, Christopher Skog, Hedenskog, watches nervously out of the periscope as he drives towards the enemy.
139
He sees a muzzle flash from the front right and a split second later, and a split second later, round slams into the earth right next to their fender.
140
McMaster's men see the strike and fear he's been hit.
141
Black Six, Black Six, are you hit?
142
Black Six, Black Six… But then Skog spots a second T-72 emerging into the sights of their Abrams.
143
Hold on!
144
He turns hard to the left throwing off everyone in the turret.
145
Ah!
146
They gather themselves and resume their positions. Are you okay?
147
McMaster takes a second longer.
148
He's hit his head on the edge of the coupler, completely missing the radio transmission calling for him.
149
Black Six, do you copy?
150
With their leader in silence and seemingly having taken a second enemy round, desperate Red One takes the initiative.
151
This is Red One.
152
Black Six is down.
153
I'm taking over.
154
Follow my lead.
155
Listening to this on the radio, Skog calls for his commander.
156
Sir, get up on the net.
157
Red One just took over.
158
McMaster realizes what's happening and is quick to clear up the confusion.
159
This is Black Six, we're alive!
160
I'm retaking command!
161
Meanwhile, outside is a flurry of sand, smoke and fire.
162
Enemy rounds keep missing the Abrams as they charge through the desert.
163
On the Iraqi side, everything is in pure chaos.
164
The Abrams roar past the shell-shocked Iraqis, firing round after round into the enemy armor.
165
The Bradleys behind fire their cannons at trenches and infantry, struggling to distinguish between legitimate threats and defeated enemies.
166
Driver Matt Lee follows his unit under fire when a person appears in front of him.
167
Lee slams on the accelerator and steers towards him.
168
The Bradley barrels towards a soldier at speed.
169
The Iraqis completely disoriented from the darkness of the storm and smoke of the battlefield, unaware as his body rapidly fills Lee's thermal imager.
170
The speeding Bradley roars by, inches from the enemy.
171
Lee made a split second decision and decided that this enemy was no threat.
172
Elsewhere in the battle, the advancing line of Bradleys are suddenly met with a column of tracers.
173
The bright bullets ricochet everywhere and two Bradleys focus on the source.
174
A ZSU-23-4 Schilke anti-aircraft gun inside a bunker anti-aircraft gun inside a bunker.
175
They slow to a halt and the first anti-tank missile rockets off its launcher, zipping across the battlefield.
176
The anti-armor warhead detonates into the bunker, collapsing it.
177
A second anti-tank missile flies in moments after, slamming into the ZSU and setting it alight.
178
Across the line, the Bradley crews operate with incredible bravery.
179
The missiles cannot be fired on the move, so Bradleys have to stop under fire to engage enemy armor.
180
Eagle 31 comes to a halt while staring down the barrel of a reloading T-72.
181
The American gunner fires off his missile and strikes the Iraqi tank, exploding it into a ball of flame, fractions of a second before it can do the same to the Bradley's crew.
182
Meanwhile, another Bradley, Eagle 36, have used up their pair of anti-tank missiles
183
and are still stuck in the middle of heavy fighting and are still stuck in the middle of heavy fighting.
184
They need more if they are to have a chance against the dozens of T-72s still somewhere out there in the dark.
185
Tribble, give me some toes!
186
Scout Michael Tribble takes the missile tubes stowed in the rear and opens up the roof hatch to reload them.
187
But the launcher is out of reach.
188
Can you give me the turret on 5950?
189
The turret needed to be rotated to 5950 mils to be able to reload from the hatch.
190
But Tribble hears the response.
191
Negative.
192
We're stuck like this.
193
The commander can't place the Bradley in a reloading position.
194
They need the gun and armor facing the enemy.
195
If Tribble's going to reload, he's going to have to go outside and do it.
196
Tribble rushes out from safety.
197
He can hear the hiss of rifle bullets zipping across the air, a few striking the Bradley's armor with loud clangs.
198
But Tribble ignores it all at all.
199
He discards the old tubes and casings and begins mounting the new ones.
200
He hears the crack of bullets narrowly missing him, but he keeps his nerve at a time where a slip-up is the difference between life and death.
201
The missiles are reloaded and Tribble returns to the machine shouting… Done!
202
Go!
203
Go!
204
With that, the roof hatch closes up, once more protecting Tribble from the chaos outside.
205
Bradley again lurches to life, charging for combat.
206
Back at the front the battlefield gradually calms down.
207
Bradley still fire their cannons amidst a flurry of small arms fire, clearing out trenches and destroying equipment as the platoon drives through the wrecks of the enemy.
208
Midmaster's executive officer comes on the radio reminding him
209
that 70 Easting was the limit of advance and they are way past it.
210
I can't stop.
211
We're still in contact.
212
Tell headquarters I'm sorry.
213
He cuts the transmission and returns to the task at hand.
214
They've broken through their lines, but there has to be reserves somewhere in this storm.
215
It doesn't take long for them to find them.
216
I see them!
217
He spots a group of enemy tanks with his thermal sights.
218
Seventeen of them, all in a circle.
219
They've attacked so fast the reserves haven't even had time to get out of their parking spots.
220
McMaster orders all of the troops Abrams to bear.
221
Ready, report!
222
They creep up on the enemy.
223
He can clearly see an Iraqi tank commander standing on his hatch.
224
The commander hears the Abrams and looks over his shoulder with an expression of utter horror on his face.
225
Fire!
226
In a flash the strength of Eagle troop is unleashed at the stationary targets.
227
In just a minute, all 17 of the T-72 tanks are reduced to scrap.
228
Target destroyed!
229
The Bradleys in the rear continued to destroy enemy equipment and ammunition stashes, but the battle was effectively over.
230
Anxiously, McMaster got on the radio to ask one question he feared the answer to.
231
How many casualties?
232
No casualties to report.
233
No casualties to report.
234
No casualties to report.
235
They hadn't just won, they had crushed them.
236
In just 23 minutes, this scouting force that wasn't even meant to engage the enemy had destroyed 50 T-72s,
237
25 armored personnel carriers, 40 trucks and a multitude of other vehicles of the Tawakalna Republican Guard
238
without losing a single man or vehicle.
239
McMaster would be awarded the Silver Star for his actions.
240
He's still alive today, and we hope he watches and likes our video.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
