Humvee Used as Suicide Vehicle in Baghdis Province
Published 3 years ago
Taliban fighters in the Baghdis Province of Afghanistan utilize a captured humvee as a suicide vehicle in the middle of an attack against an Afghan National Army outpost, in March of 2020. We can expect these types of attacks using US equipment to skyrocket this year.
The Islamic State proved the concept of the armored suicide vehicle over the course of several years of open unconventional warfare against the Iraqi Army. In 2020, the Taliban decided it was time to copy that course of action by packing armored humvees with explosives so they could be used as armored and unstoppable suicide vehicles. This video shows one of the attacks.
At the time, it seemed pretty extreme to see the Taliban flag flying from the back of a humvee. Now, I fear that we'll be seeing MRAPs, MATVs, and all sorts of other armored vehicles with the black on white flag of the Taliban flying behind them as well.
There is only one group of people to blame for this, and an overwhelming majority of them never once stepped foot into the middle of a gunfight. In fact, almost none of them have ever been in a situation where there life was directly in danger due to an enemy of the United States. Every single one of them should resign from their political office now, because the fault lies directly on their shoulders.
