ISIS put our MRAPs to good use for Kurd ATGM practice.

I'm quite stunned at the cameraman's ability, as well as the use of Snackbar only a handful of times throughout a 7min video of engagement.

LiveLeak video.  No embed.

As for that TOW hit on the second MRAP:

I was cheering when that guy ran to the second truck and then you hear the missile and it blows that one up too!



I say arm the Kurds, give them whatever they want and piss on Turkey if they don't like it! The Turks are going backwards. Fuck 'em.

The Pesh recently got a major arms shipment from Germany, to include G36s, G3s, MG3s, Panzerfaust 3s, and Milan ATGMS. Looks like they Ar wou toting those weapons and training to good use.

and what a run it was!  The part that shocked me was how they went right to the exposed MRAP as cover, despite having just been popped in their own.  I would have been relieved to see that thing, and ran as far away from it as possible!

From what I have seen/read, the Kurds are that "moderate" brand of Islam that seems to be missing on much of the current world stage.

when I'd pass through the checkpoint north of Mosul (CP 5 if I remember), they'd be pulling security for us to welcome us into kurdistan. Super polite and accommodating and always treated us like welcomed guests. Kurdistan was a green zone, you didn't have to walk around in body armor or anything like that. Our little outpost there was staffed by Kurdish college kids from zakho.

ATGM. The others that went up in massive explosions were VBIEDs. It would take hundreds of pounds of ordnance to create those explosions.

I have to believe they had massive internal damage, though.  The one couldn't stay on his feet; his ears were probably bleeding.  For the pressure needed to blow those sides open like that, imagine what they experienced inside.  I'd like to think that even if they made it out of there, a neurologist visit within an hour would be necessary to prevent death.
