‘Mad Max’ (US/RUS) Road Wars in Syria

[Mr London 24/7]

Only noticed these recently, ‘Mad Max’ style road wars have broken out in the last few months between US and Russian forces in Syria.

Pretty harmless so far, bumping these massive armoured vehicles against one another.

I’m sure others here will also find them interesting and (with a proper social media presence) will be better than me at ferreting the good ones out: hopefully saving me trawling for them on some of these other awful sites!

Thus starting a Thread, and kicking us off with an incident circa 25/8:

Hah!
If you want to see Mad Max style, lash-up armoured vehicles,, look a few years back at the various improvised armoured vehicles built by ISIS, ISIL, Kurds, etc.
How anyone can de-conflict all those allies from Kurdistan, Iraq, Iran, Free Syrian Army, Britain, Canada, France, Saudi Arabia, USA, USSR, etc. is a mystery to me??????
