ISIS Maniacs Take Car Bombing to Next Level with 'Suicide Tanker Bomb'

Now that the Islamic State's blood-soaked establishment/expansion has been been slowed considerably by Kurdish Peshmerga units -along with US/coalition airstrikes-
the Kurds are moving into ISIS territory around Mosul (which the Islamists have been turning into a fortress) as ISIS appears to be on the defensive...

For a group with so much money, captured equipment, and fanatical fighters, the tactical move to suicide bombings with vehicles this weekend -attempting to slow the Kurdish advance- seems surprisingly desperate. Where did the ISIS artillery go?

But it's not just any old Corolla packed with explosives they're using, the Islamists have developed a 'suicide tanker' which they sought to deploy against front-line Peshmerga infantry yesterday.
The idea is to drive right up to the Kurdish units and detonate bombs/tanker full of fuel in their midst.

The vehicle is adorned with improvised armor/cow-catchers to keep bullets and intruders out of the cabin and engine bay while preventing them from shooting the tires out.
As such, it resembles a Mexican narco-tank crossed with an IDF anti-terror bulldozer.

That one yesterday didn't work, tho- Peshmerga managed to detonate the truck by firing steadily upon it as it approached, so it done-blew-up at a safe distance (below). 

A similar tanker-bomb killed 7 at a checkpoint just north of Baghdad last month, so it looks like we'll be seeing more suicide-tankers from the
blood-drunk Islamic State in coming weeks/months.

You have to wonder what's the next ISIS engineering innovation, one filled with radioactive weapons/waste... a 'dirty tanker' bomb?
This is the same outfit tossing poison-gas grenades at the Kurdish line and dropping chlorine bombs on civilians, so expect the worst.

Candidate John Kerry said that we'd have to just accept a certain nuisance level of terrorism.

It appears that the ISIS fighters “love death more than they love life”.

The subhuman savages use all their energy and their limited intelligence to maim, burn, destroy and kill. If they would use their energy to do something useful, they might amount to something.

Just imagine the horror if they had nukes...

Dear Leader 0bama is working on these fundamental global changes as I write this, comrade.

Nice find

Superbly topical!

[Old Sarge]

Okay, I LOL’ed...

[RandallFlagg]

Remember.
If, say, this rolling weapon were rolling towards a gathering of leftists, and an American sniper was able to take the shot that stops the driver.....

Yeah. They’d still complain.

[Pollster1]

Did they watch "Mad Max" or "The A-Team"?

and to all those who dispute the contributions of muslims to the modern world, I say look no further than the tanker bomb.

One can only hope that ISIS is developing a corrupt kleptocrat class to relieve them of all of that filthy money. Pretty soon they will have nothing but Swiss bank accounts for the leadership and no bullets for the front-line troops.
