| The Dreaded GoPro Tanks |
| 2014-11-04 |
| Moved to opinion. When the history of the Syrian civil war is written, future historians and documentary producers will doubtless be indebted to the fearsome Syrian GoPro equipped tank. For those who don’t know, the GoPro isn’t a missile but the hit consumer action camera that some enterprising person has mounted on Russian-built tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. It allows the viewer to “ride” along on the outside of the tank with actual combatants. and record the POV, almost like a shooter game, of real, live, historical action. This video, for example, makes it possible to follow the actions of a platoon of tanks in Jobar, Syria, possibly in early 2014. Jobar is a town on the outskirts of Damascus, and a battlefield of the civil war. It was also the site of a reported chemical warfare attack by Assad forces. |
