Top ISIS weapons

[jaiind]

American/Iraqi Humvees

Along with tanks and weapons, ISIS fighters have also picked up a host of Humvees from raided Iraqi bases. This ability of Humvees to easily negotiate treacherous desert conditions has led to their widespread use in the region. The vehicles are also capable of playing host to multiple weapon emplacements.

M198 Howitzer

Business Insider reported in July that ISIS had seized 55 American M198 Howitzers from a fleeing Iraqi army. The weapon is capable of firing 155mm shells with a kill radius of 50 meters.

9K32 Strela-2/SA-7 Grail

The Washington Post reported that multiple ISIS propaganda videos have surfaced showing fighters using the SA-7 Strela, a shoulder-mounted surface-to-air missile.

Chinese HJ-8

Multiple reports have said that ISIS is using the HJ-8 anti-tank missile, a Chinese weapon first built in the early 1980s. While somewhat unwieldy, the weapon ostensibly has a hit probability rate of 90 percent.

Iraqi Chemical Weapons

Reports in July said that ISIS had seized an old Iraqi chemical weapons facility just north of Baghdad. More recent reports claim that chemical weapons are being used by ISIS against Kurdish troops.

ZU-23-2 "Sergey" Anti-Aircraft Cannon

Medium reported in August that ISIS was using these Soviet anti-aircraft mounted guns with "brutal effectiveness against Iraq’s dwindling helicopter gunship force."

FIM-92 Stinger MANPADs

ISIS fighters acquired a host of American Stinger missiles from ravaged Iraqi basis, according to Fox News. The Stinger is lightweight and easy to use, and can be operated from the shoulder of a single soldier, making it no small threat.

Type 59 Artillery

Also known by the slightly less succinct name "130 mm towed field gun M-46 M1954," the Type 59 came out of the Soviet Union in the 1950's. Medium reported in August that ISIS was using the artillery against Iraqi troops.

Soviet-era T-72 Tanks

ISIS captured many tanks from the Iraqi army, including the relatively modern Soviet T-72, of which it may have as many as 10.

Biggest threat comes from MANPADs.

The tanks and Humvees are worse if our strategy of dealing with ISIS is by using other local militias.

10 tanks hardly pose any considerable threat, and can be taken out without much difficulty. Humvees, yes.
