ISIS has been claiming the ability to make surface-to-air missiles for awhile, but newly leaked footage of a “technical college” operating out of the ISIS capital of Raqqa has not only verified it, but provided a first glimpse into the group’s increasing capabilities.
The ISIS lab shows their ability to build heat-seeking warheads to revamp the large caches of missiles once thought totally out of date and useless, and giving them new relevance in the war. Shocking as it is, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The footage out of the lab also showed ISIS making remote controlled cars, complete with mannequin “drivers” who are able to evade scanning machines at checkpoints, along with massive caches of assorted explosives and improvised bombs.
Officials say the video is a “treasure trove” of information about ISIS capabilities, but what they can do about it is still unclear, as even if they manage to locate and destroy the lab, the capabilities are likely to remain.
Oh, to be a writer for Saturday Night Live.
'ISIS has been claiming the ability to make surface-to-air missiles for awhile…'
This so-called (claim) by ISIS bogeyman (terrorists) is more bulls**t from the
Zionist/USG corporate media concocted to scare the people.
ISIS, ISIL, or whatever the Pentagon claims to exist, don't have to make
weapons when they are getting a crap load from USG war profiteers.
The bigger threat is the 'Gas Leak' taking place in LA County's Aliso Canyon
Murdoch's Sky News is hardly a very reliable source but I could well imagine ISIS getting anti-aircraft capability, not developed by themselves, which strikes me as unlikely, but from a government. Since ISIS is now talking of turning on Putin, it could well be the US or an ally. I could easily see a alliance of everybody against Putin and Assad. ISIS agrees not to attack the EU or the US and in return gets a free hand, and good equipment, to fight Putin in Syria, the Caucasus, Crimea, Turkmenistan or anywhere else.
