Iraqi Special Operations Team Maneuvers on Islamic State
Published 7 months ago
GoPro footage from the 2017 Battle for Mosul released by a member of an Iraqi Special Operations team shows the chaotic and somewhat coordinated chaos of a group of Iraqi counter-terrorist troops maneuvering on an Islamic State position.
Around :30 seconds into the video, one of the troops maneuvers laterally from a team using the humvee as mobile cover and fires an RPG directly past his team. Judging from the reaction of his buddies, no one was leaving "عزيزتي الجميلة" comments on his Facebook posts later that afternoon.
