A member of an Iraqi PMU conducting operations against the Islamic State captures the moment an SVBIED explodes while he is taking a selfie video of his surroundings.
As technology advances, cameras get smaller. As cameras get smaller, they keep finding new and interesting ways onto the battlefield. For the past decade, some of the best combat footage that has been recorded was filmed on a Soldier's cellular phone. This is an example of that happening.
A member of an Iraqi PMU finds himself in the middle of a raging fight against the Islamic State. He feels his unit is relatively safe in their current position, so he decides to bust out his cellphone and take a selfie video while he is sitting on top of a vehicle. Next thing he knows, an SVBIED detonates directly next to his unit. Fortunately, it appears that he survived the situation.
This is one hell of an Instagram story.
