...
strategic locations are secured and observed... |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/005.jpg) |
....the
search for the terrorists has started. They must be here somewhere,
hidden in the field !! |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/_DSC7288.jpg) |
This
information was already known via 'intelligence'.... so the fields
are scoured by heavily armed soldiers.... |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/_DSC7255.JPG) |
....every
possible hide-out is checked and searched, make no mistake ! |

Action
by a cave entrance, an obvious hiding place.... |

....
handgranades will be used if there is a reason for within rules of
engagements. |

....unfortunately
no terrorists inside. Keep looking ahead... |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/14%20Special%20Forces%20(6).jpg) |

escape.... |

....and
of course the Mangusta's circle around to notice and report every
single suspicious movement, and give fire-support when needed. |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/14%20Special%20Forces%20(15).JPG) |
The
terrain where the terrorists are hiding is hermetically being
sealed.... |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/14%20Special%20Forces%20(22).JPG) |
....slowly
the circle becomes smaller.... groups inform eachother
continuesly.... |
![](/02-2015/Italian%20Blade/IB%20IN%20ACTION/N71_4584.JPG) |

process closes itself... |

of whatever kind.... |
