In the night video, note that all of the shooters have night vision, and many weapons have IR lasers and some use IR spotlights. It’s all pitch dark to the enemy, who can’t see anything but tracers, if they don’t have night vision.

...can’t see anything but tracers, ...Tracers, and muzzle flashes.
Got any idea why, part way through, there was a string of what I'm guessing was tracer being hosed up into the sky?
I didn't think al-Sadr had an air force.

I thought the GAU mini gun was only mounted on aircraft of one mix or another — but this video convinced it was vehicle mounted..
Talk about a snarly ride!
I’m not so sure I like the two way visibility of lasers pointers on weapons.....
Couldn’t an enemy with simple gear see the sources - and fire on the sources?
