Published 2 years ago
Footage recorded in 2014 shows a rocket system improvised by the Islamic Front being utilized to make an opening inside of a fortified building in Damascus, Syria.
The Syrian Civil War is infamous at this point. Some of the roughest fighting in the world has happened there, and to date, it is still the most heavily documented conflict in the history of mankind. As a result, we have seen many improvised weapon systems come out of that conflict, including weaponized drones, and refurbished pirate cannons. It's entirely not uncommon to see vehicles straight out of Mad Max featured heavily in combat footage coming out of Syria.
This footage, which was recorded in the earlier stages of the conflict, shows an improvised rocket system being utilized by the Islamic Front to punch a hole in a building occupied by Syrian Soldiers. The location of the footage is Damascus, where a lot of the heavier fighting occurred in the earliest stages of the Civil War.
