Post by Zeno »

Største tap av norske soldatliv siden andre verdenskrig - VG Nett om Afghanistan

27. juni 2010

4 Norwegian soldiers from the MOT (Military Observation Team) was killed by an IED

They were driving in a Armored IVECO when the bomb hit. the blast killed all 4 soldiers and the lifes where not savable :(

this is the biggest single loss for the Norwegian army since World War 2

Rest in peace!

Thornehaw: If all this have been evidently true, Battlefield is a much scarier and dirtier than ever imagined. Not a conspiracy, but a possibility. If it is true, then trusting another is quite worrisome.

I truly hope we will send more instructors down there, both police firefighters, medical personell and military experts, to train the afghanistan people to take care of themselfs.

The work our Soldiers do down there are a huge effort to keep safe, those critical engagments we have, with creating a new Country.

This is a huge Task that NATO has put themselfs to do, to rebuild a country.

Rome was not built in a day, rest in peace, your lifes will not be invain.

RIP.

Unfortunately the worst month for NATO/ISAF forces so far, with the 4 US troops killed a few days ago and the special forces chopper incident earlier on in the month.

It really stings me. Norway has not taken much casaulties the last years (thank God), so I think this is our highest military loss in one single incident since WWII.

RIP to all of you, we really appreciate what you and our NATO-comrades are doing down there.

RiP. I've been to Norway several times and worked alongside their Armed Forces, very professional.

Must have been a large device to cut through that, same vehicle the British Panther is derived from.

it is derived from the smae vehicle indeed, only tha norwegian version has better armor

making the necessary blast even bigger, taliban has learned that with enough explosives, it really doesn't matter what vehicle you are in
