(NSFW) Conscripts Sent Flying when Ambush Causes Truck to Rollover
Published 2 years ago
Insane ambush footage recorded by the Free Syrian Army captures conscripted Soldiers abandoning each other for dead on the side of the road. This is what carnage looks like.
For the purpose of context, the above footage was recorded in Syria back in 2015 by members of the Free Syrian Army. The exact location of the ambush seen is not known, but we do know that an overwhelming majority of the Syrian Arab Army is comprised of conscripted Soldiers who were drafted into military service to fight for the Syrian government.
What you're looking at here is a lack of proper training on the behalf of the Syrian Arab Army. This ambush would have been deadly regardless, but the lack of proper training is what ultimately lead to the scenes of carnage you're seeing here. The driver in the first vehicle is absolutely panicking. He has the skinny pedal on the right all the way down, and is speeding away from the rest of his convoy on a dirt road with passengers sitting in the back of his truck.
All it takes is a momentary lapse in his driving ability at a time when his heart rate is up, and the vehicle is sent tumbling. The passengers in the back are thrown from the vehicle and likely killed, and no one following behind the pickup appears to have any time to react to the crash as they fly directly into the vehicle and crash themselves directly in the most deadly portion of the ambush site.
From there, things go from already bad to way worse for the now stopped Syrian Arab Army convoy. With a little proper training, these guys may have been able to blow directly through this ambush to a point where they could regroup and mount a counter-attack. Training isn't a top priority for conscripted Soldiers however, only their bodies and ability to carry a gun matter.
