Hezbollah Finally Uses Their Combat Zipline in Real Combat
Published 3 years ago
Members of Hezbollah finally utilize all their years of zipline training to establish a faster method of medical evacuation while conducting combat operations near Lebanon in 2017.
I always thought it was a meme. I'm not going to lie. In almost every piece of terror propaganda that exists, there's always some Jihadi swinging from a zipline wildly firing his AK-47 like he's in a 1980's action film. We've all seen clips like that at least a dozen times, but for once, my mind is actually blown.
I've watched this clip a dozen times now, and you know what, this actually looks like it works. If you know me, then you know my saying for things like this. If it seems stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid. So, I guess I stand corrected. Maybe there really was a purpose for all of that zipline training. I mean, I'm not gonna suggest we start having Marines and Soldiers conduct live fire while they zipline from the roof of a building, but I guess this might actually be a viable medevac platform if you put some proper engineering into it.
