The US-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), somehow the mainstream media prefers to call them the “Syrian Democratic Forces”, uses an interesting self-made armored vehicle in clashes against the ISIS terrorist group.
The vehicle has no windows and its personnel use cameras to navigate. According to reports, the vehicle is now involved in the advance on Raqqah.
This video shows the vehicle during clashes for the village of Maizalh:

First photos of this vehicle appeared in November 2015 (source):
I can only conclude its ramming device is for knocking down homes and buildings.
“The US-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), somehow the mainstream media prefers to call them the “Syrian Democratic Forces” – are two different things.
