This is what happened to this Kurdish female sniper.
This insane video footage shows how truly badass one Kurdish lady sniper is. Would you find it funny if a bullet came within inches of ending your life? This female Kurdish sniper, a member of the Women’s Protection Units, laughs in the face of danger–and the astonishing act was all caught on tape. (And if that’s not crazy enough, she’s wearing pink socks and sandals to boot).
The incredible footage comes from Raqqa, in the north of Syria, and shows the awesome response a sharpshooter has to an incoming bullet fired by an ISIS militant. The Women's Protection Units was formed to defend Kurdish people from IS and other terrorist threats.
Watch in amazement at this ridiculously close call here.
These women are very brave. They should be rolemodels for all woman. If they are captured they would be put through hell and they know it.
Never had to dodge bullets, but on numerous occasions I have had to dodge rockets and mortars.
One jokes and laughs about it as a reaction to someone trying to kill you. I did the same thing and most of the people I knew did too.
I did not realize this until a year later.
A true “sniper” she is NOT. Watched a video of that and she does NOT appear to have been trained for the role of a sniper. Although courageous, she appears to just have been shooting from behind that wall. Glad that the other shooter missed though.
The Kurdish women and the Yazidi women are fierce warriors.
Beautiful gal in many ways-but she does need a lot of training in sniper craft. A salute to you sweetheart.
Nothing is as exhilarating as to be shot at without result. - Churchill
before or after changing my shorts?
If you watch it in stop frame you can see the scope hit her eye.
Time to shift position.
Anyone know what she says?
The Women’s Protection Units
Boys with operations need not to inquire.
Most snipers know taking multiple shots from the same location is inviting death...
—— and remove that blue headscarf.
I wonder how big mouth smart assed democrat women would fare in situations like this? Yazidi women would probably “get rid” of them very quickly.
Unlike other Muslims, the Kurds appear to treat their women as people instead of property.
Had one splatter the bark off a tree right next to me.
He was just saying hello cos they never miss a head shot.
Gotta whining snow-flakish teenager? Show them this 19 yr old’s video. She is fighting in a civil war, for liberty, and just too exist, and brushes this off, granted, she may react later (PTSD) but our kids have no freeking idea how good they got it...
A lot different than if it hit my head.
