Good Riddance
“militants” you mean mercenaries paid by America and Israel.
This is correct.
That’s a mad max looking vehicle there, I guess it shows what these militants are, nothing but a bunch of barbaric modern day bandits.
I am sure it operates even worse than it looks. :) That is an aircraft mounted launcher for short range rockets. Firing them from standing position would give it even shorter range. Additional bonus is the absence of aiming device. I would like to see a video of them firing this thing. :)
Did I just see a jet/helicopter rockets launcher mounted on a pickup???? wtf!!!
yes, but it’s nothing new. something that has been around since Somali warlords battle in early 90ies, and probably earlier.
