Ancient Tank Scores Direct Hit on Syrian Infantry
Published 3 years ago
Members of the Nour al-Din al-Zenki movement use a recovered tank that appears to be from some-time in the stone age to hammer a group of Syrian Arab Army soldiers who are firing on their friends.
This video, which was recorded during the fighting in Aleppo back in 2016, shows members of the Nour al-Din al-Zenki movement utilizing an ancient tank to win a fight against the Syrian Arab Army. If you're not familiar with Nour al-Din al-Zenki, I don't blame you. The name of the group is an absolute mouthful, but I'm going to give you a real quick history lesson.
Nour al-Din al-Zenki is a Sunni Islamist rebel group that was one of the most prominent rebel factions throughout the fighting in Aleppo. They were part of the CIA's TOW Missile Initiative that saw the Syrian conflict flooded with ATGM weapon systems. At several parts during the Syrian Civil War the group tried to align themselves with better funded groups like Ahrar al-Sham, Jaysh al-Islam, the al-Qaeda linked group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. In all instances but the last, the group was denied. They were a part of HTS for one year before they left the group and joined with Turkish-backed Syrian Liberation Front alongside Ahrar al-Sham.
