Blogs of War

A cool update from Defense Tech:

An inside source over in Iraq shot me a note yesterday with a link that shows a Marine-produced video telling the story of their assistance in securing routes for Iraqis traveling to the Haaj.

But in it – about half way through – is the first known footage of the Osprey on a deployment. It’s just a quick shot, but we’ll call it a “proof of life” that the MV-22 is indeed deployed to Iraq and can land safely in the desert (sarcasm).

I’m still waiting for footage to show up on YouTube.
