... The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force received a brutal wake-up call when 15 insurgents broke through the wire at Bastion at about 22:00 local time. Dressed in US combat fatigues and armed with automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and suicide vests, they launched "a well-coordinated attack," it says.

Not mentioned in that article, but covered on The Aviationist: That's the worst US air loss to enemy fire since Vietnam and that Harrier squadron is effectively out of action.

... that Harrier squadron is effectively out of action.

 

Took out eight aircraft and killed the squadron CO. I'd say so.
