ISIS: Attack|Kill|Booty (2) (1 Viewer)

[DeathHand]

Part 1 of this series can be found here: ISIS: Attack|Kill|Booty (1)

--------

Here's 3 more Sets of ISIS attacking a target, destroying it and killing the defenders and then plundering weapons, vehicles and ammo.

Daesh's style of fighting doesn't always work out for them and in many cases they have been repulsed by counter-attacks and good defense. Sometimes I think that in those cases the soldiers (Iraqi or Syrian) had good leadership that kept the men at their posts and using their weapons to fight back.

About a month ago there was a Syrian soldier who has been hailed as a hero after ISIS overran the base he was stationed at and being wounded and possibly the only one still alive called in an airstrike that killed him but also decimated the attackers.

In Part 2 of "ISIS: Attack|Kill|Booty", the first Set took place in Iraq as the Iraqi offensive to retake Mosul was beginning.

Anbar Province, Iraq, Oct. 2016.

Set 1.

1. As usual, Daesh surround the defenders and hit them from all sides with various weapons.

2. ISIS fighters have little fear of jumping out into the open to spray machine-gun fire at any defenders. This can have a huge psychological effect on who they are attacking.

3. An armed tactical, always part of any ISIS attack fires into the Iraqi position.

4. Another ISIS 'must-have' is the RPG.

5. A humvee burns in the foreground while a second humvee burns in the far background down the road. This photo shows how ISIS fighters are able to position themselves to hit different targets.

Booby trapped vehicles and munitions should be left for them to scavenge.Hide gps units in them, do things like that.

As the Syrian Army and 'friendly' militant groups moved in from one side the Kurdish PKK moved in from the opposite side as the battle for Aleppo began.

In this case, a Kurdish unit did not fair well against their Daesh opponents.

I don't know why the Iraqis or Syrians have not done anything like that. They seem to loose more equipment and weaponry to ISIS than they actually use: alot of items not even unpacked from their crates yet.

They are Stupid mutherfuckers, Bombs could be put in the humvees and mraps. Gps units to track them home. Those can be got online. I don't think they want to quit fighting, if what they do can be called fighting. If the big powers wanted to the isis fuckers could be wiped off the planet in short order.

 

[Mental Puppy]

I wonder if these guys even know why their fighting in the first place. So much death you would think the population would be in a minus.

Wtf happened to him

PKK is fighting at two fronts at times. Against IS and the Turkish forces, maybe not simultaneously, but in common. Doing a good job though. Germany should support them more by sending them some of our weapons, we don't need them anyway.

Found this picture: A Leopard II. Southfront.org said, IS fighters managed to capture two of them from the Turkish army. And the bulldozer.
Holy shit, IS with Leos. Hope, they have no crews for them.

They learn quickly and can assemble a tank crew in no time: all they need is one to drive, one to load and fire and one to direct since they rarely use captured tanks unless another target is very close by that they can attack utilizing a tank or two.

ISIS laid siege to a Syrian military airport that resulted in the Syrians retreating with heavy losses.

No booty photos in this set - just dead Syrian troops.

Yep, that's right. I thought at a trained crew (ex-Turkish), which could use the advanced fire control system and tactics. But for just terrorizing the country this isn't necessary.
