Egyptian Tucano Pilot Takes Selfie Video While Vaporizing ISIS
Published 3 years ago
Unconfirmed footage reportedly filmed in the cockpit by an Egyptian Tucano pilot flaunts his handiwork as a precision airstrike obliterates a concentration of Islamic State fighters and their vehicles on the Sinai peninsula.
While the Brazilian-designed turboprop Tucano was initially intended to be a trainer aircraft, it has found a home in several Air Forces' counterinsurgency toolboxes because of its versatility and relatively cheap and easy maintenance.
The Egyptian military has been battling IS in the Sinai for seven years. They execute successful large scale operations, but the Islamic State always regenerates once the government forces withdraw from the area.
