Description
English: Picture 3 of 5 in a sequence.

A Paratrooper from 3 Para stumbles and recovers whilst underfire during Operation Oqab Tsuka in Afghanistan. Meanwhile another soldier provides return fire from an opening in the compound, as the empty cartridges from his rifle fly through the air.
