Syrian Kurds Have U.S. Javelin Missiles



RT: Syrian YPG allegedly uses US high-tech anti-tank missile to blow up ISIS truck (VIDEO)

Pictures have emerged on social media which appear to show Syrian Kurds with an advanced US-produced anti-tank missile. A video allegedly shows a rocket blowing up an Islamic State truck. Washington has denied “providing the YPG with weapons.”

The footage shows a truck allegedly belonging to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) on the receiving end of a direct hit from the missile.

If you notice the modified bed, the semi-armoured cab, and the long "afterburn", it was probably a VBIED.
