Islamic State Fighters Get Introduced to the American B-52
Published 2 years ago
Members of the Islamic State, attempting to defend the city of Mosul from advancing Iraqi forces, meet the American B-52 bomber for the very first time. It doesn't end well for them.
For the purpose of context, this video was recorded by the Islamic State during the 2017 Battle for Mosul which saw Iraqi Forces supported by U.S. Special Operations Teams and the YPG clearing through and defeating the Islamic State who had been control of the city for almost two full years. It is believed that this footage was recorded during initial days of the battle, but that information could be wrong as the B-52 flew numerous combat operations throughout the battle in support of U.S. and Iraqi forces on the ground.
