Video in...

And these are SEALs? Randomly standing on the road behind cars? Standing up while bullets are flying around? One trying to aim across the wall that is at least 15 cm higher than him.. like worst snackbar..

I think these are part of DoD/CIA advisors with firepower. Among them you have Seals (check for US flag rolled on their backs).

Yeah, saw it and vomited. US flag cant be dodged even in Pepa the Pig cartoon for babies anymore.

Fun part at 0:05 SUV starts on the US "operator" before he can grab a gun from the trunk and the guy almost falls over his face trying to grab something from the trunk. Keystone DoD.

0:30 Seal pancakes on the field...

Yeah i saw it all, they look so...bad...

I think these guys for all their prowess, are relying too much on the Kurds. Whose C² has been proven severly lacking (not further than yesterday) therefore they walked into a firefight with Daesh before even blinking.

Something, the Russians have been VERY cautious to avoid moving in big motorcades, which inevitable are going to attract attention. The way of the Hobo, I guess has its advantages.

Guy that was killed

BREAKING Footage (in english) from the newly liberated Al Dulab in anbar They even have a map and looks like Anbar is virtually all liberated aside from Fallujah, Al Qaim and Rutba

Iranian Dehlavieh ATGM spotted in Iraq. I belive for the first time.

Any current or ex-tankers wanting to see what it's like inside the Abrams after killing almost a dozen ISIS fighters?

Iraqi Army has successfully led a new battle to rid several villages dotted around the south plains of Mosul of ISIS. The battles took place primarily at night, during the day ISIS activity is low as they try to avoid air strikes. However both the Iraqi Air Force F16 and the Coalition air forces have night capability so these tactics did not help ISIS as much as they had hoped. Iraqi Army have night time fighting units to handle the night assaults against ISIS held villages. ISIS was severely crippled in battles at night, lacking the power to see the Iraqi forces as they advanced and destroyed the ISIS presence. 36 ISIS fighters were killed in the battle. Injuries and escapees are unknown as they had withdrawals to other positions in small units across a 3 day period to hide from the air forces. Iraqi Army has consolidated these new positions and is reinforcing them to continue the advance against ISIS in their stronghold of Mosul. The continued support for the Iraqi forces and the sacrifices of the Iraqi people has led to these victories against ISIS.

Amazing footage. ISIS SVBIED coming straight towards a camera crew thinking they could interview the Iraqi Army safely. ISIS SVBIED fails and detonates after taking fire from the Iraqi Army.
