Video - ISIS seals figure in 'Pallywood' style production.
The Islamic State is now touting an elite, Navy SEAL-like group of swashbuckling, amphibious-style commandos who are able to spring from the water in a blink of an eye to take out enemies in broad daylight.
In a new video obtained by Vocativ, ISIS is shown unveiling its newest band of special forces, a black-clad brigade that purportedly uses the Tigris River in Iraq to stage a series of stealth attacks. Like previous attempts by the group to promote its prowess, the film is at turns terrifying and hilarious.
Military experts who reviewed the footage say it reveals little about the commandos’ actual proficiency as fighters. They concede, however, that the video proves to be a powerful piece of propaganda.
“Just looking at the way they moved, the way they held their weapons, made me laugh,” says James Dever, a retired sergeant major of the Marines Corps and military advisor. “But I’m not a young person who knows nothing about skilled combat.” Hmmm.....I personally like their red butcher knives must be great to self inflict wounds :) Read the full story here.
