Free Syrian Army Attack Turns into Medieval Ladder Assault
Published 3 years ago
Footage recorded in Daraya, Syria back in 2014 shows members of the Free Syrian Army conducting an almost medieval style assault against Syrian Arab Army positions.
Looking at Syria today, you can tell it's been a wild ride. The duration of their country's civil war has been an absolute roller-coaster ride. It's easy to forget that at the beginning, assaults like this weren't uncommon whatsoever. In fact, it was almost an every day thing to see footage coming out of the region showing members of the Free Syrian Army using some ancient battle tactic in an attempt to gain the upper-hand in battle. Trebuchets, catapults, hell cannons, weaponized commercial drones, anything that could be weaponized would be, and this video is just more proof of that.
Imagine being so absolutely outgunned that your best chance of winning the next block over is to charge the enemies position, guns blazing, trebuchets flinging, and with 10 ft. wooden ladders in hand. Syria was and still is an absolute mad house.
