Incredible footage has emerged from the front lines of the fight against Islamic State as French forces came to the rescue to destroy a suicide vehicle.

The video, filmed by Riam Dalati near Raqqa, shows a vehicle making quick progress across the desert.

That truck is a Suicide Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device, or SVBIED, and it is seen accelerating at some speed toward the cameraman, while there are shouts in the background.

The vehicle, a Suicide Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device, is heading towards its target, the allied forces

After realising that the missile launched by Kurdish forces has missed the target, French special ops are quickly on the case. The small cloud of smoke is just the beginning

Cheers can be heard on the video as the allied forces, made up predominantly here of Kurdish fighters, celebrate

It is being driven by a Islamic State suicide bomber.

To the left of the car, the video shows a white light, a wire-guided missile, being fired from a ATGM launcher.

But the missile launched by Kurdish fighters in the YPG misses its target.

Panicked voices can be heard in the video's background, before French special forces save the day.

A small cloud of smoke appears behind the car, which is still powering through the desert towards its own target.

Then the dramatic explosion takes place, close behind the vehicle.

French Special Operations have fired a missile at the suicide truck, saving the day after the first miss.

It could have been a Javelin missile, a US made 'fire and forget' weapon.

Cries and shouts of relief can be heard in the background as one man shouts 'Yes!' when seeing what has happened.

Hasta la vista,baby !!
 
At some point they say "Prepare a milan" and at the end the same solider say "prepare a second one !"

But I'm not sure is the first "milan" the missile that miss or the one that hits the target (which we don't see) ?

The ATGM fired that barely misses is most likely a Milan and then the Fra SF follow up with Javelin hence the top attack and distinctive firing sound.

Yup, I rewatched the vid after reading your post and I think you've got it right.
Thanks

Hype?

It's just a war video that shows an incident and captures the human side and tech side and unconventional tactics of war while highlighting the role of a foreign special force. Even the thread title is blandly accurate.

This is a defence forum. We need more of this and less of religious bullshyte.
