(NSFW) Coordinated Assault by Iraqi Special Operation Team in Mosul
Published 1 years ago
Video recorded during the month's long battle for Mosul shows a well trained and coordinated Iraqi Special Operations team conducting an assault against Islamic State positions. Insane volumes of incoming and outgoing fire can be heard all around the Iraqi troops as they advance.
For the uninitiated, or for those of you who weren't following us back during the peak of the Islamic State's reign of global terror, this video was recorded during the 2016/2017 Battle for Mosul. The troops you're looking at are Iraqi Special Operations, who were trained by American Special Forces during the rebuilding phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Some of these dudes might probably still be on active duty today in Iraq, conducting combat operations in places like the al-Anbar province. One thing is definitely for sure, these are not the Iraqi troops that I worked with in 2008. Those guys couldn't coordinate a foot movement from one side of their base to the other without messing it, but these guys are conducting a full-fledged combined arms assault an Islamic State position, and they're doing it with practiced ease.
