(NSFW) ATGM Used as Anti-Personnel Device
Published 3 years ago
Members of the Free Syrian Army employ an ATGM device in an anti-personnel manner. This is not their intended purpose, but I believe this video proves it is a viable tactic for the weapon system.
By now, you've seen a couple dozen of these videos. The ATGM has essentially replaced the sniper rifle, and I think this video is evidence as to why. While even a moderately trained marksman could have used this opportunity to pick off at least one Syrian Soldier, this barely trained ATGM gunner was able to take out the whole lot of them in a single missile launch.
Unfortunately for whoever goes to fight these guys next, this is now a tactic they'll need to deal with, right up next to the improvised explosive devices and suicide bombers.
