Turkish Remote Weapon System Records Incoming Guided Missile
Published 2 years ago
Footage filmed from inside a Turkish military vehicle in northern Syria shows a gunner firing at Kurdish militant positions with a remote weapon system when they become the target of an anti tank guided missile.
At one point the Turkish soldiers see a blast erupting in the area of where they are firing and they become excited, mistakenly thinking they set off some sort of secondary blast. A very short time later they realize the explosion was actually the launch of an anti tank guided missile (ATGM) being fired at their position. They panic, but there is nothing they can do in time to avoid being struck. The video ends as the warhead makes impact and the result of the strike isn't know.
