Mortar Strike Caught On Camera, Tank Used To Evacuate Wounded
Published 3 years ago
Russian ANNA News video from Jobar, Damascus in 2013, shows the moment a rebel mortar round lands near a group of Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops and reporters, resulting in the injury of at least one soldier.
The driver of the tank takes control of the situation as he fires up his engine and assists in getting the casualty loaded onto the armored vehicle for a hasty extraction. The extent of his injuries aren't known, but signifiant blood loss is apparent on his leg.
The ANNA News agency collected unprecedented and unrivaled combat footage as they placed action cameras on multiple tanks and infantry fighting vehicles during heavy fighting in urban areas. Unfortunately, much of the available footage was purged by Youtube from its servers to make advertisers happy and we are left with low quality re-uploads and fragmented sequences of the video documentation.
