It’s a well-known fact that Islamic State fighters enjoy using hardy Toyota pickups in their pursuit of cleansing the Middle East of people even slightly different from themselves, but they’ll need to restock after last week.
Recent Allied military advances, including a huge, weeks-long push that liberated the Iraqi city of Fallujah, have ISIS on the run, and the U.S. Air Force’s best aerial hardware just caught a huge number of their vehicles making a break for it.
The results, as Defense Department video of the strike shows, wasn’t pretty — for the insurgents or their trucks.

What about their airbags?
Were they recalled?
WE don’t use cluster bombs, they are too dangerous
Step one of taking out a regional power like ISIS is to eliminate all of their transportation. Put them on foot.
This is what our Air Force is really good at. And yes, I think they pawned this one off to Iraq or Saudi. The cluster bomb(s) at the end were most effective. CBU-87 is a wonderful weapon in this situation.
It doesn’t get any more bunched up than that, unless you’re at rush hour in a major U.S. city.
It was both. Iraqi gunships don’t have cluster bombs
Fleeing? They are not even moving, certainly not after the initial two bombs were dropped when you’d expect them to run. Sorry I don’t trust our government at all after today.
One must wonder how the military got filthy scumbag Mullah Obama to agree to bombing his fellow tribesman.
I don’t think you were replying to me.
So they didn’t move after the first bomb at the head of the convoy. This is their typical response. Thre are many reasons for it:
1) They are dumbasses
2) Their trucks would get stuck in the sand.
3) They were waiting for orders from other dumbasses.
4) Inshallah (it is god’s will if they live or die)
This happens day after day. When the preds are around it’s useless to run. And when cluster bombs are used their only chance is that the pilot misses.
Even a burned out hulk of a Toyota truck riddled with A-10 holes is good for $5000. They retain their dollar value remarkably well.
Did Obama give 10 min warning before the warning? Let go all the occupants?
Why isn’t there a bounty on every military vehicle and any being used by Islamic terrorists. Open hunting season on anyone or anything flying an Islamic terrorist flag?
Right you are!
Wow! Even Jeremy Clarkson couldn't do that.
That would be odd given that the Iraqis don't speak Farsi.
Whatever the F it was. All I know is that the script I saw in the upper left hand corner of the cockpit display looked like a Muslim country flag script, WHATEVER THE F IT IS. Cyrillic or whatever the F.
You should not be allowed to sell your vehicle to terrorists. We need some sort of tracking to make sure our vehicles do not fall into the wrong hands.
