Syrian Technical Struck by Aircraft in Azaz
Published 2 years ago
Crystal Clear footage from 2012 shows the destruction of a technical vehicle by the Syrian Arab Army's air power. It's unclear which group these guys were fighting for, as this was towards the very beginning of the conflict in Syria.
It's not common to find footage from this era of the conflict in Syria. Much of that video footage comes in a very grainy film quality, as it was usually recorded on older camera equipment. My guess is that the person holding the camera in this footage was most likely a professional camera person who was entirely unprepared for the scenario that they were going to find themselves in once the aircraft opened fire on the technical.
Unfortunately for the sake of the video quality, as soon as the aircraft opened fire on the technical the person behind the camera did what any sane person would do when in the path of an aircraft's fire. They dropped their camera to their side and sprinted in the direction of cover.
It's unlikely that anyone involved with this video, from the cameraperson to the pilot are still alive today. The Syrian Civil War is still on-going today a literal decade after this was filmed.
